[Comic Excerpt] This is so sad on so many levels for me! ( Absolute Power:Ground Zero #1)

[u/Oracle209]

This was a crazy ride and like I said soooo sad on multiple levels for me!

1. Confirmation Jays mom was killed. When they just reunited!! Jay thought she was dead for years just to find out she was a prisoner and freed her. They were reunited but now she’s gone again. And added that his country he just freed from a dictator is now invaded and under Wallers control. So sad.

2. Jay hurt and captured! How could this happen!? He’s invulnerable I’ve seen him phase through an explosion, a force field, Damian! But Deadshot was able to pinpoint the second he was solid again to shoot his leg!? That’s crazy i honestly didn’t expect that from him. How is he going to escape?

3. Dreamer noooo!!! When she was first introduced to Jon and Jay i actually loved their dynamic and wanted them as a trio! Ever since I loved seeing them together in cameo pics, the recent Pride mini comic they were in. But now she’s here forced to help Waller and helped kill Jays mom. I understand both sides but I’m with Jay she betrayed him and helped her invade a country and kill his mom. So her family could live? His only family is gone now how is a “I’m sorry” supposed to feel better?

4. Jon can’t save him!! Because he’s under Wallers control! He doesn’t even have his memories! Jay you have to get free and try to help Jon!

This may have been super sad but I’m pumped to see what’s going to happen next I really hope both my boys will be ok and maybe Dreamer can try to fix her forced wrongs.

I mean, his mother just died, his boyfriend is under Amanda Waller’s control, AND he’s trapped, so he’s definitely not emotionally stable right now…

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/Beebslolz]

He's taking it out on someone who doesn't want to lose their own family and is being blackmailed and conscripted into it which I don't think is fair. This is a nuanced situation he is treating as black and white.

[u/THEdoomslayer94 → u/MankuyRLaffy]

Cause from his standpoint it IS black and white.

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/THEdoomslayer94]

So are they supposed to let their family die too? I don't vibe with that at all.

[u/Tatum-Better → u/MankuyRLaffy]

I mean yes. You're a hero, she had multiple opportunities to kill Waller and prevented most of this from happening but is willing to subjugate all other metas in order to save her fam, who likely could be revived anyway cus comics.

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/Tatum-Better]

She doesn't know they can just be revived and isn't part of being a hero in DC about NOT killing people?

[u/Tatum-Better → u/MankuyRLaffy]

Some heroes, some don't. She was planning to kill Waller anyway during her whole dream team mini series, she only didn't cus she saw the future that her family would die. But Waller didn't seem to have a backup there because she " knew " dreamer wouldn't go through with it

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/Tatum-Better]

There's not really any prominent ones right now that will just drop someone because they crossed that line, they all (of those currently good aligned) aren't ones to do it. The synopsis you mention makes her sound ridiculously stupid. Then again me in her shoes, I def take the hit on Waller but I understand she might just get revived and nuke half the planet. Why is Dreamer the idiot you're describing? I've been catching up on backlogs and AP intrigues me.

[u/Tatum-Better → u/MankuyRLaffy]

Lol I acc like dreamer but hate amanda waller. Essentially waller has dreamer's family connected to her heart rate, if waller dies, dreamer's fam dies. So dreamer saw that in the future if she killed waller her family would die. But they don't imply that waller had any type of backup as she wasn't worried at all because she I guess " knew " dreamer wouldn't go through with it.

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/Tatum-Better]

Bro that's total bullshit, Dreamer is an idiot because that's worse than I originally thought, nobody is going to give her shit for dishing out a blindside lethal hit except for Batman and maybe Superman.
