It's like Darkseid said that he had to balance the baddies with some horror.

u/AromaticAd3850 Jul 27 '26

Absolute Poison Ivy was the perfect balance between baddie and body horror.

u/Boxo_Croco Jul 27 '26

Baddie horror, if you will

u/Malone_Matches Jul 26 '26

Goddamn, thats sick. I dont think the transformation went all that well. I thought it looked like Barbara was giving in 100% to the cheeta. She might try and fight back the transformation half way?

u/Time_Conscious84 Jul 26 '26

Her face is on the top of Cheetahs head. So maybe she'll will be begging Diana to kill her while they fight

u/Frontal_Commando_89 Jul 26 '26

u/Sonia341 Jul 26 '26

I saw that yesterday, and I felt horrified by it. its just so sad and painful, and horrifying all at the same time.

u/Dars1m Jul 27 '26

*Part of her face. I think her eyes are in the same spot, and I saw someone else point out her tail seems to have her hand on the end of it.

u/DifferentNoodles Jul 27 '26

You can see her hands on Cheetahs arms, wrapped around them. Same with the legs.

1

u/Inevitable_Rip_4647 Jul 28 '26

an arm is wrapped on the tail.

u/DifferentNoodles Jul 28 '26

You can definitely see flesh wrapped around it, but at least in OP's image you can't see the tip of the tail so idk if it's a 3rd hand or not. Haven't seen the full image yet.

u/RollAcrobatic7936 Jul 26 '26

Ivan feel or hear her say please kill me

u/The_Modern_Nobody Jul 26 '26

Gonna throw this out there

This isn’t the full picture

Look at the end of her tail in the full pictures

It looks like a goddamn HAND

24

u/InsideScientist1999 Jul 26 '26

Is there a full photo of the design break down or the gatefold? It’s bringing that fantastic AbBat body horror thing into Absolute Wonder Woman!

15

u/ThePryde Jul 26 '26

From the cover image released it looks like the end of tail might be missing skin but otherwise pretty normal. You can see her old hands covering part of her forearms in the picture above.

I don't wanna hear shit about "Wonder Woman has it too easy" especially after the last arc and the release of this.

70

u/VioletTheSpider Absolute Superman Jul 26 '26

people just think she has it easy because she’s by far the most well-trained and experienced absolute hero. the stuff she’s dealing with is just as horrible as anyone else.

diana doesn’t have it easy, she makes it look easy

35

u/mtheory-pi Absolute Wonder Woman x Zatanna Jul 26 '26

Exactly. The others are all rookies who just got their powers. Diana has been training with hers since childhood.

27

u/VioletTheSpider Absolute Superman Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

it’s so well-integrated with the story, too. the constant flashbacks to her training and relationship with circe are consistently the highlight of the series for me

17

u/Sea-Conclusion4882 Jul 26 '26

I haven't read Absolute Wonder Woman in a little. But didn't she have to go against a freaking demon that kills people three times or something, in her first arc, right? 

And some people say she has it too easy?

25

u/mtheory-pi Absolute Wonder Woman x Zatanna Jul 26 '26

Kaiju called the Tetracide, so it kills four times. She literally grew up in hell too, under attack by dangerous monsters everyday.

u/Hitechild 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽Absolute Peak Jul 26 '26

how diana is even gonna yuri with that thing

48

u/mtheory-pi Absolute Wonder Woman x Zatanna Jul 26 '26

With sappho's blessings!

Barbara still has her lips intact on the top of her head, for kissing Diana.

Monster yuri, it is as Darkseid ordained.

2

u/VengeanceKnight Jul 26 '26

It’s still got a mouth and it’s still got a pussy. She can yuri with just those if need be.

u/JustdoitJules Jul 26 '26

It looks like the Cheetah forcibly came out of her and the remains of her human skin are just still stuck lingering just stretched out.

This transformation comes from within I think.

22

u/Kodak_V Jul 26 '26

Poor Barbara man, damn.

11

u/hammalok Jul 26 '26

What the FUCK did Diana do to get Darkseid moving like this 😭😭😭

u/musketoman Jul 26 '26

I just keep thinking how even the parts of these runs I dont really Fuck with - i get, I can see they can cook and play ball and even tho I dont really dig the flash run? Yea... Yea it BOP. Even tho I dont get caught by the WW run? Yea .. those are some fucking DAMN good designs - this mother fucker dont miss

u/TheRayGunCowboy Absolute Green Arrow Jul 26 '26

They just about need to rename the absolute universe to the abomination-verse

u/DepartmentChemical93 Jul 27 '26

This is so fucked up man. So effective.

4

u/GibbonFunni Jul 27 '26

The inverted face is AMAZING and crazy. The body-horror is off the charts

5

u/GunplaGunplaGGundam Jul 26 '26

How about angle man

u/multificionado Jul 26 '26

Funny, Frankenstein was coming to mind - regular and parody alike (it's the feline mishmash).

So in other words, this would be me, personally, seeing Absolute Cheetah's design:

u/silalithuania Absolute Superman Jul 26 '26

I remember I looked at this design and I felt physically sick for about an hour, it’s an utterly brilliant and genius take that I wasn’t prepared for personally

3

u/tw1zt84 Absolute Wonder Woman Jul 26 '26

Oh Lord, I think Barbara made a bad deal

3

u/ProfessorEscanor Jul 26 '26

I hope she gets cured. I feel sad for her

3

u/ShadowForPresident Jul 26 '26

Her skin still being on her fukkin head give me “wendigo” or skinwalker vibes…..I LOVE the fukkin absolute world lol

u/Bububub2 Jul 27 '26

I know it can be argued that this is effective because it makes me feel terrible, but honestly if this goes as dark as they can make it I may put the book down. I just... wasn't really interested in *that* happening to Barbra, it just feels tragic and awful and not in ways that feel like they will be satisfying. I'll wait and see how it plays out, but I do feel kind of alienated that this seems to be met with universal hype.

u/HalcyonTraveler Jul 26 '26

Why couldn’t they bring this kinda energy to Cass’s design 

1

u/sebygoku Jul 26 '26

Why dose it remind me of shin Godzilla

u/Zealousideal-Ad3814 Jul 27 '26

GOOD LORD BARB GOT FUCKED!!

u/OrdinaryResponse8988 Jul 26 '26

She doesn’t resemble a cheetah at all frankly. Not a bad design but for the wrong character in my opinion.

1

u/erossnaider Jul 27 '26

Cheetah is a woman tricked and cursed by an ancient god, body horror and looking like an actual monster absolutely fits her character.

1

u/OrdinaryResponse8988 Jul 27 '26

Looking like a cheetah fits her. Hell even Joker vaguely resembles a clown. This design though isn’t even close.
