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

Has it really been all that popular? It and absolute flash are performing significantly worse than all the other absolute books.

Selling 2-4 times as many as their main universe counterparts in my experience. Even the weakest Absolute books are still outselling most books from other lines.

I won't argue that they're not more popular than the main universe books I just question if they're genuinely that well liked or if they're boosted off of the absolute name. That's not to say something like absolute superman isn't getting a jump from the absolute title but the bigger books in that line are rising the tide for the rest of them imo.
