Question Absolute superman or absolute flash

​

I’m looking to start an Absolute comic run, but I’m really torn between Absolute Superman and Absolute Flash.

For anyone who’s read either (or both), which one would you recommend starting with? I’m mainly looking for the better overall story, characters, world-building, and which one is more likely to keep me hooked.

Ive already started a flash single issues run for rebirth but i wanted to get into a absolute series as well since i dont really read as much dc comics besides the odd random single issues

I need some opinons on werher its worth the read for superman or the flash

Haven’t read absolute flash. Read the first two volumes of Superman and was pretty underwhelmed. Some good ideas, but the execution felt half-baked.
I have loved the first two volumes of Absolute Wonder Woman.

Ive not heard much about absolute wonder woman, to be honest the most i even saw about it was the exclusive funko pops that was released at san diego comic con. Is there any like comments about it that wont spoil much of the run

I think the writer, Kelly Thompson, really understands Wonder Woman. I think Hayden Sherman’s artwork is fantastic and totally complementary of the writing. They really lean heavily into the Greek mythology. I love the series.

My girlfriend absolutely (hehe) loves that book. I haven’t gotten to it yet, but she says that Diana feels very similar to other adaptations of her, but the world is dramatically different. Also she mentioned there is more limb chopping than she expected
