These Absolute Superman pages are going to stick in my craw forever. @rafasandoval.bsky.social and @juanferreyra.bsky.social really know how to make a moment feel human and still mythic.

Superman holds the tattered nearly complete costume that Martha Kent made him and sobs. The note reads FROM Martha and Johnathan FOR OUR ANGEL OUR LOST CLARK KENT

its very funny that Superman feels like the most underrated Absolute book, I've fell off flash and green lantern and am gonna get back to them eventually but every time I open superman after that Ra's arc I'm like damn this is a fun book

I think it’s definitely the most underrated. GL and Flash have great niches, but Absolute Superman is bright and bold and exciting as any of the other Absolute books.

I just tuned in to the episode and you are now saying this haha! since he got that blue suit I've been greatly enjoying this book and the horror whenever brainiac shows up!

Poor poor Lex!

Brainiac's intro issue is one of the strongest absolute issues for me, I have a running joke with my friend that whenever an absolute version of a villain is introduced its usually a strong introduction, but that lex issue and the first one with all the other brainiacs stuck with me!

yeah! I just feel like I never hear people talk about it! people rightfully talk about the other big 3 and Martian manhunter, I heard people talk about green arrow, I'm waiting for all of cat woman to come out so I'm kinda avoiding stuff about that, flashs and gl which I'm gonna catch up on though
