Absolute Superman

by Jason Aaron, Rafa Sandoval

Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval's Absolute Universe reimagining strips Superman of everything—fortress, family, and past. What remains is a raw, powerful exploration of the Last Son of Krypton discovering what heroism truly means.

Geek’s cut

Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.

Deeper dive

In this bold reimagining of DC's Absolute Universe, Jason Aaron presents Superman without his typical support systems and connections to his past. With Rafa Sandoval's stunning artwork, this series explores what it means to be heroic when stripped of technology, family bonds, and earthly ties. It's a character-driven space epic that treats Superman's mythology as both a playground and laboratory for fresh ideas.
