ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #16

ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #16 continues the bold, universe-spanning arc at the heart of the Absolute Universe, picking up right after Absolute Evil #1. Jason Aaron crafts a high-stakes chapter in which Superman steps to the fore as a new generation of heroes takes shape, only to learn he wasn’t the world’s first super-powered protector. Hawkman arrives with hard-earned tips for the novice, testing Superman’s resolve and setting his path forward. Juan Ferreyra’s dynamic art gives the momentous story both energy and mythic weight, while a quartet of covers—Rafa Sandoval, Gerald Parel, Inhyuk Lee, and Mahmud Asrar—speaks to the title’s fresh reinvention. At 32 pages, this issue deepens the Absolute Universe’s scope and stakes, anchoring a pivotal moment in the character’s ongoing evolution. It’s essential reading for readers drawn to expansive mythologies, modern Superman lore, and stories that explore legacy, mentorship, and responsibility in a changing universe.
