    This is a darker, more pained take on Jon Kent than we've seen so far, and it makes me hope that this creative team has more planned for the character. Read Full Review

    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth Sep 18, 2024

    Absolute Power Super Son #1 is another great entry into the Absolute series, blending unique artwork with powerful colors and story. Spending more time with Jon and showing how he is as much his father as he is his own person takes this story to new heights. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - David Beasley Sep 18, 2024

    Absolute Power: Super Son #1 feels like a hype book presented as a tie-in to the Absolute Power event. While the event is relevant to where Jon's headed, I don't think the opposite is true. Still, the art direction is fantastic and the story is quite captivating. If you're a fan of Jon Kent or Dreamer, this book is not one to miss. Read Full Review

    Absolute Power: Super Son #1 takes a deep dive into Jon Kent's mind as he subconsciously battles the vestiges of Brainiac Queen's programming. The issue starts and ends well enough, but the chaotic visions through most of the middle are tough to follow. However, the strangely large number of artists tapped to put this comic together did a great job. For Absolute Power readers, this issue is for completists only. Read Full Review
