Absolute Universe (Collected Edition) #0
DC All In Special (2024) #1
Following the events of DC’s blockbuster storyline Absolute Power, the heroes of the core DC Universe have fought against the deep divisions in the world around them to usher in a new era of unity. And it’s just in time, too—because Darkseid has returned. Superman must gather every hero on Earth to hold the line against a very different version of the Lord of Apokolips, as they raise our cosmic defenses and prepare for war…and when the first blows land, the shock waves will ripple into every series in the DCU and shake the nature of their reality to its core!But little do they know…the greater threat is still to come. For there is another the Absolute Universe. Here, DC’s biggest icons are coming of age with fewer advantages and facing greater opposition than ever before…while miraculously retaining the immutable heroism that has inspired fans for decades. But can they really protect the light that shines inside them when the world in which they live is hurtling toward a terrible destiny?

The "DC All In Special" is a fast paced double -issue. On the one hand it serves to introduce the foundations of DC's new Absolute Universe and on the other it launches a new era for the traditional DC Justice League oriented universe. The book is a little hard to follow in places, but presents a set of high energy and engaging stories that provide a few tantalizing hints about the Absolute Universe and promise lots of exciting developments to come.
Pro Tip The two parts of this book can be read in any order, but most readers are likely to find that starting with the Justice League story will make the initial reading experience more coherent.
4.5 stars rounded to 4.

PT Uma revista em formato 2-em-1, com duas histórias situadas nos dois universos atuais da DC, que no final acabam por convergir no mesmo evento.
Visualmente é bastante boa, mas a leitura não me entusiasmou minimamente.
Apreciei bem mais a história do lado “Absolute” do que a do universo regular. Também adorei reencontrar o Guardião Dourado, uma personagem que já não via há bastante tempo.

EN A 2-in-1 issue featuring two stories set in the two current DC universes, which ultimately converge in the same event.
Visually, it’s quite good, but the reading itself didn’t excite me at all.
I enjoyed the story on the “Absolute” side far more than the one in the regular universe. I also loved seeing the Golden Guardian again, a character I hadn’t come across in quite some time.

For a book that’s supposed to be a good entry point into the next phase of the DC Universe, this was a very confusing story for me, a relatively new DC reader. The Alpha section was pretty straightforward but you don’t get to know any of the characters aside from Booster Gold, and the Omega section, while containing awesome art, throws a lot at you without much sense. I get the gist, but I don’t think this was as entirely necessary a read as they’ve been saying it is. I bet you could jump into any of the All-In storylines or the new Absolute universe without having read this. This seems primarily for Justice League fans.

Finally they are giving Booster Gold a shot. Too bad he might die. The Absolute Universe looks interesting but also scary. If this is Darkside’s world, look out.
October 6, 2024
Both sides of the story are quite compelling and in distinct ways: the JL side sets up an interesting new phase for the league with complex themes of acceptance and self-doubt; the absolute side is primal and mythic as Darkseid travels through Heaven and Hell for truths about the universe.
Also, damn, Wes Craig’s art is stunning.

Meh too "big" without any punch. This is not a good jumping on point at all.
August 13, 2025
Had read all the Absolute storylines and only just realized this was the one that kicked it all off. Big swings, bold setups, and some fun hooks—especially the Booster Gold bits—but it lacks much in the way of payoff and reads more like a prologue than a full story. I’m glad the main titles deliver more, though I’m a bit surprised there isn’t much tie-in to this so far.
October 3, 2024
This was so good!! The art was fantastic and I love how many characters make an appearance, the way the story is told in two halves that blend together is also very cool! I look forward to what comes next!!

Mesmo com os spoilers que eu recebi, a história é bem boa, e não estragou minha experiencia de leitura, só me deixou com mais hype ainda de ler toda esse desenvolvimento de um novo universo dominado/criado por Darkseid.
Eu não sou um grande conhecedor de eventos que envolvem multiverso da DC, principalmente depois do Renascimento, que teve o universo das Trevas Metal, mas esse novo universo me deixou empolgado e compreendi a ideia básica do que será criado. Sempre que há esse desenvolvimento envolvendo tempo e espaço, eu me perco um pouco, e acho até natural, e isso acontece aqui novamente, pois envolve um conceito de omniverso e eu só aceitei tal informação.
No que tange a história, ela trabalha bem a dicotomia proposta entre esperança e trevas, com seus representantes sendo o Superman e Darkseid, respectivamente. E algo que inclusive é mencionado e eu não havia parado para pensar, é que o Darkseid realmente não possui versões variantes, e anos depois, em 2024, a DC decide trabalhar isso, achei bacana.
Voltando sob a dicotomia supramencionada, a história se baseia em apresentar uma nova formação da liga da justiça, que está sendo reestabelecida, após ser dissolvida uns anos atras, e que agora tem um forte traço de apoio entre os heróis, onde vai prevalecer a amizade e a sinergia entre os heróis, com o Superman destacando bem isso. Por outro lado, vemos o Darkseid buscando um conhecimento proibido a ele, que lhe dará acesso a mais poder, tudo contado em quadros escuros, violentos e com sangue, total oposto da energia que a história da Liga da Justiça apresenta.
A forma como a história é contada é bem interessante, pois vemos o mesmo período cronológico, mas sob duas perspectivas: o do universo regular da DC, com as principais participações sendo: Superman, Sr. Incrivel e o Gladiador Dourado; e por outro lado o Darkseid, com um breve reslumbre do Superman, Batman e Mulher Maravilha do Universo Absoluto.
Acredito que utilizar o Gladiador Dourado como o fio condutor para apresentar esse novo universo funcionou muito bem, pois ele possui o carisma e características que funcionam para esse tipo de tarefa. Agora estou curioso para saber o que vai acontecer com ele.

I liked the JLU coming together. Beyond that...it was a bit head-scratching.

3,5 stars.
This is a special edition that presents the future of DC in this new “All In” phase and also shows the creation of the Absolute Universe.
I was very curious to see what would happen here, especially because of the new formation of the JL, which made me very excited because it looked like the cartoon that made me fall in love with all these characters.
This is a “double-sided” edition, with one side shows the main universe and the other is about the absolute universe. The transition between the stories is really cool, but I was a little confused about Darkseid.
In the plot, they don't understand who this Darkseid is. They think he's from their universe, but he's from the Absolute universe, and this lack of context (for those who haven't followed the previous comics, like me) left me a little lost.
Besides that, it's an interesting introduction. It focused on a fun character I don't know very well, the Booster Gold. And it leaves loose ends for things that may happen in the future of the absolute universe.
--------------------------------------------
3,5 estrelas.
Essa é uma edição especial que apresenta o futuro da DC nessa nova fase "Sem Limites" e também mostra a criação do Universo Absolute.
Estava bem curioso para o que ia acontecer aqui, principalmente pela nova formação da Liga, que me deixou bem animado por parecer o desenho que fez eu me apaixonar por todos esses personagens.
Essa é uma edição "vira-vira", de um lado fala sobre o universo principal e do outro o absolute. A transição entre as história é bem legal, mas eu fiquei um pouco confuso quanto ao Darkseid.
Na trama, eles não entendem quem é aquele Darkseid que aparece, acham que é o do universo deles, mas é o do universo absolute, e essa falta de contexto (para quem não acompanha os quadrinhos anteriores, como eu), me deixou um pouco perdido.
Fora isso, é uma introdução interessante. Teve um foco em um personagem divertido que não conheço muito bem, o Gladiador Dourado. E deixa pontas soltas para coisas que podem acontecer no futuro do universo absolute.

Sempre quando vai iniciar uma nova fase em seus quadrinhos, a DC Comics costuma fazer um especial introdutório para as coisas que vêm aí. Este All-In (Sem Limites no Brasil) ficou a cargo nos roteiros de Joshua Williamson e de Scott Snyder, para apresentar não apenas o destino da Terra 0, a regular da DC Comics, como também a nova Terra criada por Darkseid, que aportará o Universo Absolute, nova iniciativa da editora. Mas aqueles que acham que esse novo universo será apresentado aqui, se engana. Trata-se da criação desta nova Terra influenciada por Darkseid e como ela é ainda mais sombria que o Universo DC. Enquanto do outro lado (a revista é em estilo flip-flop, ou seja, uma história se lê no inverso da outra) vemos as iniciativas para a criação de uma nova Liga da Justiça após os eventos ocorridos em Poder Absoluto. Embora eu goste muito dos desenhos de Daniel Sampere, acho que a arte e a narrativa de Wes Craig me agradaram mais ainda, principalmente pensando no objetivo deste especial.

Como introducción para el universo de Absolute es muy bueno, aunque no te da el panorama completo, te da contexto de por qué surge el planeta de Darkseid donde surgen enemigos más fuertes. Y adoro que Booster Gold sea importante para la trama 🙏

I started with the Justice League 52 Days Later side. I enjoyed it. It made sense. It was nice to see Booster getting props from Sups and then stumbling in late as usual... Tbh, I don't know a hell of lot about Booster, but I liked him in Sanctuary and his friendship with Ted K is awesome. I know the gist of his backstory and the kind of guy he is. I've always thought he'd be good in Flash crossovers.
Should also say I didn't read Absolute Power.
Then I hit the mid point and switched to the 52 Days Earlier side with Darkseid (hm, 52 days huh? DC's gonna stick with that for a long time, I see - even at the beginning of a reboot). And here the comic lost me. It's Darkseid. There's not a lot you need to know. But there are so many words and it's so convoluted. Darkseid is. Darkseid has a role. He is the only one. Blah blah blah. Look, I love Williamson's writing, but this needed to be trimmed and streamlined. Because then the ultimate want is ... ಠ_ಠ
There are no rules! (Put your shirt back on.)
And honestly, the first thought I had about the Quintessence saying they could easily kill Darkseid was the recent Dark-Winged Queen arc in Titans, where everyone was swatted away like nothing by *Trigon* 🙄 DC...figure it out. Supes going down made sense given his weakness to magic, but The Spectre was like nothing there and here he, and the rest of the Quintessence, are properly power leveled. Anyway.
I am still hyped for the Absolutes and the arrival of Elseworlds into main continuity - the 3 Jokers will make more sense that way - but the first half of this stoked my excitement and the second half killed it. JL v Darkseid. Guess that's appropriate.

Every year it feels like the justice league announces some big initiative to bring in every hero and somehow nothing ever comes of it? Weird huh? Okay book but kinda felt more like a preview than anything else. The interior art was very good on both sides, and the flip book format is so original and interesting !

This one started fast and confusing. I think the gist is that we are now going to focus on Darkseid's universe? World? I'm not sure, but I'm intrigued and will definitely give them a chance. I love dark DC.

Grapa imprescindible para empezar con las dos grandes propuestas que nos trae Panini de DC. Ambas historias nos ponen en contexto para leer tanto la línea Absolute como la nueva línea que sigue a los personajes de La Liga de la Justicia tradicional.
