About the book
Spiraling out of the catastrophic events of Absolute Power, a new side of the DC Universe is born--the Absolute Universe! In a different, darker world, Kal-El landed in a remote Kansas field, the last survivor from an alien planet...but even before that moment, nothing unfolded as you'd expect. As he tries to survive in a world seemingly determined to repeat the mistakes of the demolished Krypton, he'll come into conflict with the globe-straddling Lazarus Corporation and its agenda of exploitation...and go fist-to-fist with its brutal army of Peacemakers! Best-selling writer Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is joined by superstar artist Rafa Sandoval (The Flash, Action Comics) to reinvent Superman from the ground up! Collects Absolute Superman #1-6.

Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“Just finished Absolute Superman, Vol. 1: Last Dust of Krypton and this one feels way more introspective and heavier than the usual Superman stories. The whole Krypton legacy angle carries a constant sense of loss throughout, which I really liked. I was expecting a more drastic change to Kal-El’s origin in this new universe, but a lot of it still feels familiar. What really stood out though were the fresh takes on other known characters, especially Lois Lane being an agent instead of a reporter. Overall, a solid start, even if it plays a bit safe in parts.”
