Superman and Wonder Woman seem like they certainly have more room to grow and I am more favorable to those. The main problem with Superman is that it's just turning it's wheels through 11 issues, almost nothing has happened since the second issue but a dumb little reveal that came before anything even happened. I do actually like that Wonder Woman is having Diana establish herself as a hero and everything before she ever meets the Amazons, though I doubt they're going to be any different from what we've seen in the regular books too.
I read Flash and Green Lantern and these are much better too. Although the setup of the light spectrum sounds pretty fucking dumb. Flash might be the best setup of these even if it's not the best storywise, it kind of perfectly nailed the immediate setup for things that will happen in the near term while planting seeds for stuff that can be pulled in down the road. I appreciated that its "name dropping" was more in the sense of if you know Flash stuff you know what this is hinting at even though it will obviously be different in some way. None of the others did very much of this but Batman teasing The Joker and that his friends will become his rogues. I think it's also the only one that had a real flashback to earlier in the Absolute Universe, even if it was just to push some RANDOM DUDE named Jay Garrick into the Speed Force in 1944.
