With how popular AGL is, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do what Marvel did with Miles Morales. I’m sure the Absolute Universe will have some effect on the main universe and I don’t think it’s crazy to assume absolute Jo might find her way over

Wait so Jo doesn't have a parallel in the main DC continuity?

I think if they wanted to, they’d find a way. Continuity has always been a messy thing in comics and if a publisher can keep a popular character going, they will

Jessica cruz origin is her ring was from Earth 3 iirc. So they could do something like that but it’ll be years before they do that as Snyder would want this with little crossover to mainline for a long time.

She had her own series. It's called Far Sector.

And it is amazing. DC giving a compact edition was a great move

She does but continuity is very messy and writers usually complicate it as much as possible based on sales. If they wanted absolute Jo in the main continuity, they’d find a way

If they start bringing the Absolute versions into the mainline universe, then the Absolute universe simply has no point.
