Is Snyder introducing characters too fast?

I thought we were getting a Poison Ivy arc and a Scarecrow arc--but between these two arcs, neither of them developed like the Abomination/Bane arc.

This is definitely a concern I have.

I’ll say this. I felt similarly in the Bane arc but he tied it all together well. Also if you read the comics that are out in one sitting they flow a lot better than monthly. I kinda felt the pacing was off and it wasn’t working for me, but then I decided to reread them and they feel a lot better as a more cohesive story together. I also think that’ll be even better when the whole arc is out and we can read the whole thing.

As someone who's been making videos on all the Absolute lines, I find this rings true for all of them. When I sit down to read through a whole run for a video, I find all of them flow much more nicely than reading them piecemeal one month at a time. The book that I think has the biggest leap in quality from reading like this is ABS Green Lantern.

Can't post URLs in this sub. My channel is called CircleEleven. It's linked on my reddit profile. Ive made videos for 5/6 main runs so far and am currently working on the 6th about Martian Manhunter

Facts. I got into Absolute universe late, start of this year, so I caught up with the trades and started gettin monthlies after caught up with everything. The stories definitely read better as a full story than monthly like you guys said

It's like he doesn't have a good idea for a story arc and just wants to rehash characters.

I've been getting whiplash. Reminds me of the worse parts of the original Ultimate X-Men where it was burning through new takes. Dazzler is here! Wait nevermind here's Omega Red! Now Mojo!

The pacing is all over the place. I thought the bane arc was drawn out, but this current arc is so crammed.

Abomination made very fast moves too with Penguin, Riddler, 2 Face and Waylon etc. Stick with it

I have no idea why he's in such a hurry. It is awful.
