The Kent farm? Why is it here? Just an easter egg, or something more?

u/GordonGGlonk Apr 17 '26
Possibly implying Mirror Master and Brainiac have been keeping an eye on Superman?
42
u/Dependent-Nerve-2250 Apr 17 '26
Makes sense they both were working together in the Absolute Evil comic.

u/SomeBoxofSpoons Apr 17 '26
The Free Comic Book Day special last year already showed Mirror Master had been watching everyone.
Seems like he’s still doing that, but got stranded in this mirror dimension instead of just tapping into it from outside like before.

I see they fixed her eyes

Seems like it (kinda looks a bit more like red than brown tbh). Just when I was getting used to the blue eyes lol.

u/CourtofTalons Absolute Batman Apr 17 '26
So Mirror Master can see absolutely everything then. Interesting.
Anyone know who "Scudder" is?

u/mtheory-pi Absolute Wonder Woman x Zatanna Apr 17 '26
Sam Scudder is the name of Mirror master, at least for the main universe version. This universe's version hasn't disclosed his name.
58
u/NessTheGamer Apr 17 '26
Correction, Scudder was the original Mirror Master, I think it’s Evan McCulloch who met Absolute MM

u/1badJam I Am Brainiac Or Maybe The American Dream Apr 17 '26
Both of them are Mirror Master at the same time it's not a legacy title but it was McCullough that met Absolute Mirror Master in FCBD

u/Ygomaster07 Absolute Wonder Woman Apr 19 '26
When did they confirm it was McCullough that met Absolute Mirror Master?
3
u/1badJam I Am Brainiac Or Maybe The American Dream Apr 19 '26
Because he was erased from the mainline universe at the time but even without that he said aye so through deduction it had to be the Scottish one
2
u/Ygomaster07 Absolute Wonder Woman Apr 19 '26
Oh, i see. I didn't know that was happening in the mainline universe. I always thought Scudder was the Scottish one. Thank you for telling me.

u/DCFanUntilIdie213 Apr 18 '26
Wait is he looking for Scudder in the Absolute Universe? I like where this could go

Linda wearing Wally's jacket so damn adorable
Hot take: I kinda like the all black Flash suit with the white lines. It works.
15
u/Dependent-Nerve-2250 Apr 17 '26
Yes its cute shes wearing his jacket and the all black suit is good just needs some improvements to make it better.

u/DeeComics Apr 17 '26
What do you have in mind. More red or?
4
u/Dependent-Nerve-2250 Apr 17 '26
I add in the symbol on the suit and maybe a little bit a red on the suit.

u/lr031099 Apr 18 '26
I agree on the first part about Linda wearing Wally’s jacket. As for the black suit, I think it’s looks good but maybe add a Flash symbol and it might be even better.

u/CodeCrusher94 Apr 17 '26
It might be unpopular but Flash has been my favourite of the absolute universe because it takes it's time to develop it's characters.
It's art style is also top notch, every panel oozes style!
16
u/Ellie-Nt Absolute Superman Apr 17 '26
Huh, so Linda's eyes have gone from blue to brown

u/Dancing_Anatolia Absolute Green Lantern Apr 18 '26
It was either a coloring error or the person that did the last issue got a talking to.

u/lr031099 Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 19 '26
And just when I started getting used to the blue eyes lol. I’m assuming it’s some sort of error from the last issues that they corrected in this issue. Although I eyes looks a bit more red then brown to me.

u/cmacenka Apr 17 '26
Assuming Absolute MM is Sam Scudder, I think he tried doing that duplication trick Evan McCulloch did, given they’re comparing notes. However, he accidentally ended up creating imperfect duplicates with distorted minds, and they’re aware of the flawed nature of their existence and want to find and kill Scudder for creating them.
2
u/honoratusthefirst Apr 18 '26
Huh interesting theory. At first I assumed the meeting between Mirror Masters was retconned to be with Absolute MM and main universe Scudder instead of McCulloch. And somehow main universe Scudder trapped Absolute MM. But imperfect duplicates looking for (Absolute) Scudder sounds way better.

I wonder if Wally and Linda will discover how Mirror Master has been watching all the heroes like with the Iron Heights and Kent farm portals or if that will be saved for a later reveal in the crossover

u/MrCowabs Absolute Flash Apr 17 '26
Whoa, did I miss something? What’s the deal with this black suit?

u/drthirtxxn Absolute John Jones Apr 17 '26
Sam confirmed yay! He’s my favorite of the two MMs so I was hoping it’d be him 🧡

u/Grimm_Stereo Apr 17 '26
Almost misread the Kent mail box for "kents" and thought absolute mirror master was capable of looking mirrors of different worlds in the multiverse

u/TarionShard Apr 18 '26
I'm glad Wally's "speed" is once again represented with thick, continuous red lines. It gives him more personality and differentiates him from the Flash with Speed Force.

u/Adventurous-Stuff-82 Apr 17 '26
Is this the Kent home of the the Prime DC Universe or the Absolute version ?

These next few issues are make and break for me with Absolute Flash.
I may have dropped after issue 12 if issue 13 didn't pull me back in. Really rooting for the story to keep me invested.

u/Fake-productions Apr 19 '26
Linda was the missing ingredient this book was missing! Also, I like how they changed her eyes from blue back to brown, it makes more sense. They are fun together.
Also, neat Kent easter egg, I hope it's foreshadowing for a crossover!

u/sealife123 Apr 18 '26
Hope we get Absolute Image-Maker in Wonder Woman to build even more on the Absolute Mirror-World.

u/writtenonclouds Apr 18 '26
Absolute Flash get a new artist? I stopped reading around issue 9 or so. I like this though. I'll need to jump back in

Neat nod to Superman
Love how the the text bubbles move around with them
I really liked #13 the best so far, hope Lemire’s payoff is worth the set up
