Absolute Green Lantern #13… Adam Strange Or Shade The Changing Man?
Does Absolute Green Lantern #13 debut Absolute Adam Strange or Absolute Shade The Changing Man? Neither? Both? Out this Wednesday...
Article Summary
- Absolute Green Lantern #13 teases the debut of either Absolute Adam Strange or Absolute Shade The Changing Man
- Preview pages suggest a mysterious new character tied to classic DC cosmic lore arriving on Planet Rann
- Connections drawn between Adam Strange and Shade, hinting at a unique character blend or twist
- Written by Al Ewing and Eleonara Carlini, this issue is among the week’s most anticipated DC Comics releases
Absolute Green Lantern #13 by Al Ewing and Eleonara Carlini topped the most anticipated comics of the week list on Bleeding Cool, and here is a suggestion as to why. No proper spoilers below, just the preview pages released by DC Comics below. The big spoilers we'll save for this week's Amazing Spider-Man. Anyway… the solicitation reads "Tomar-Re is here, and he will not allow Jo Mullein's inexperience to compromise his mission. It's Anomaly versus Anomaly!" But the preview suggests another character. Let's take a read…
The colour spectrum of the Absolute Lantern-and-related universe, something has gone wrong and No Man Escapes The Manhunter, let alone Sin/Es/Tro. And so to Planet Rann. Classically, the planet that Adam Strange of Earth keeps getting teleported to, created by Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky for Showcase #17 in 1958, then his own series, in the fashion of Princess of Mars. But is this the Absolute Adam Strange? This man is not from Rann, he is a stranger here…
But he is a Blackstar Overseer, a Commander no less, but is called Shade. Which brings to mind Rae Shade, or Shade The Changing Man, created by Steve Ditko in his own series in 1977. A secret agent from the Meta-Zone dimension, framed for treason, sentenced to death, and running around Earth in an attempt to clear his name, fighting the Meta-authorities… and unlike the classic Adam Strange, he is not travelling away from Earth, he is not from Earth, but to it, like Rac Shade.
And Absolute Mogol is coming…
Of course, this is only one of the many issues he is dealing with today… Absolute Green Lantern #13 by Al Ewing and Eleonara Carlini is published on Wednesday.
