A beard in place of a bowl-cut, Absolute Guy Gardner is just learning how to utilise his powers as he fights the Blackstars. I find it a weird trend that this is the second Absolute title to show such a weapon...

Well, for a palette cleanser, here's giant Jo:

Love how the self-discipline of the Red light can produce a weapon as visceral as a mainline Red Lantern's blood-vomit - and how Re's constructs reflect it being an exceptional thing when a mainline Red Lantern can make constructs.

(Also, the visual pun of Jo putting Re with his beak in a birdcage.)

If I had a nickel for every time an Absolute character used their stomach acid as a weapon, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

This has always been my problem with ibb hosting, it gives you scans for ants and makes you jump through hoops to see anything legible or it takes forever to load if it even can

I didn't have "Guy shows his Warrior powers" on my prediction list, but it certainly fits the horrific Absolute vibe.

Well-played, Ewing.

Seeing Katma as an evil thug is kind of upsetting (* kind of because she was looooong dead way a'fore I ever got into DC, so as attached to her / shocked by her fridging as I could be).

But then again, even if this was not a universe rewritten to suit Darkseid's petty designs (and also possibly his yuri ships), it's a reinvention.
Of course lots of familiar characters are going to be evil, or at the very least jerks.

I suppose Salakk, too, but with him it's a lot less noticeable.
*boom-tish*

... anyone else worried about what Absolute Ch'p must be like?

I'm thinking...a kaiju sized squirrel with three eyes, thick, viscous fluid dripping from its maw, speaks in symbols that a small, limbless chimp wearing a black derby fused to his chest translates in an overly cheerful manner, and is the universe's only Indigo Lantern. Also, Ch'p is the closest thing a mortal mouth can produce that sounds remotely similar to his real name.

Ah. Ch'p a la Scott Snyder.

I know that at scans_daily it's never just you, but to me Guy's body protrusion... thing looks like a massive alien dick. (That shoots stomach acid, why not.)

Well, mainstream Guy can certainly *be* a huge dick.
