Personally, I hated it. I thought it might have been the worst #1 in absolute universe so far. Very disappointing for me. I found the writing to be confusing, convoluted, not exciting. I didn’t feel hooked. I was confused as shit with how many different characters they threw in too.
I was thinking about how I was a bit peeved when it came out that everything had already been spoiled online, and so when I read it for the first time--it lost its luster. I think this was probably true for a lot of people too?
To date, Ark M is probably my favorite book so far. And Snyder did a really good job setting up Ark M by creating all this mystery around Joker in the books prior. Reflecting more, I feel like I probably should have enjoyed AB15 a lot more.
Now obviously the book was super hyped when it came out, but now that some time has passed--what do you all think about AB15 as an issue specifically? Rated or underrated?
What's the point of defining architecture design principles, guidelines, etc. if the Claude Code harness will no longer obey or follow them?
Lately, I've had to demand it follow TDD to enforce how I need it to operate in order for me to get satisfying results. I tell it to update the CLAUDE md file, put it in hooks, put it in memory, etc. The very next prompt, it's not even attempting to build this way.
There's something really broken here now and feels like a serious regression. If I am paying serious money, or my company is paying serious money to use these tools--why are we going backwards in capabilities when more and more people are requiring these tools as part of the foundation of work?
I ordered the CGC 9.8 presale on Dec 24... Nearly 5 months later, still nothing. Tried contacting them and got no response.
The story is a bit mid but David Finch's art is incredible in this book. It goes above and beyond your average comic book art.
Has there ever been a book where people didn't care for the story or cover as much as they cared about the inside art?
I shipped my Absolute Batman #1 first print book to the in-house signing for Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta. I asked for the book to be pressed through CGC's pressing service so I don't know if this factors.
But it shows received 3/30/26 and IN SHIPPING and has been in that state for a month now. I reached out to CGC a little ago and they said there is a backlog but I'm growing a bit more concerned by the day that maybe they lost the book?
There's still no grader notes/grade/image preview either.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I'm a Fujifilm bird photographer on an X-H2s XF 150-600mm.
I think the features of the a1 mkii that are appealing to me are:
- AI chip for autofocus
- even better image stabilization
For those that have tried both, if the a1 is good... Does the a1 mk ii seem like a significantly better camera or a marginally better camera? What are the real world differences you've found?
Thanks in advance!
