    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Aug 6, 2025

    Ra's madness, Lois' conflicted nature, and Primus' determination to finish the threat once and for all and see Superman evolve into the kind of warrior he needs to be are all intriguing subplots but the issue takes a huge level up in the last few pages, with a shocking betrayal and an identity reveal that I never saw coming. Just brilliant stuff. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Aug 6, 2025

    Absolute Superman Issue 10 is a heavy metal meeting. The first time the heroes and villains of this series finally meet was only ever going to be this explosive, because this entire universe is so hardcore. Read Full Review

    SciFiPulse - Ian Cullen Aug 11, 2025

    This issue concludes with a dramatic first meeting between the Absolute Universe's Superman and Ra's al Ghul. The plot leading up to this moment is well thought out and includes a rather dangerous scene where Ra's al Ghul is condescending toward Brainiac without whom he wouldn't have been able to run Lazarus Corp so efficiently. I'm pretty sure al Ghul's tone toward Brainiac is going to come back to bite him at some point, and I'm left wondering what the consequences will be. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu Aug 7, 2025

    In all, Absolute Superman #10 delivers the cathartic confrontation long teased by earlier arcs, powered by deeply felt stakes and crisp, expressive art. It's the issue where Kal-El must choose: embrace rage, or transcend it. And by the final pages, you feel that even if his path diverges from what weve seen before, it remains unmistakably Superman.

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Aug 15, 2025

    Now that is a cliffhanger, turning this world and what we knew of it, on its head. The Omega Men have been working in conjunction with the Lazarus Corporation. I have to say, this issue amped up my excitement for the book which has been slightly waning over time. I wanted to read more right after I finished this issue, something I haven't felt before with this book and always a good sign. Read Full Review

    All in all, Absolute Superman #10 is a great book. Solid work by writer and artists. I do enjoy the combination of a classic Batman villain with the Omega Men and Boom Tube technology. And a great cliffhanger that has me ready for next month's issue. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Aug 7, 2025

    Absolute Superman #10 delivers high drama as the story is all about the choices that must be made. These choices continue to challenge who Superman is trying to be and what he may have to become in the Absolute Universe. Superman being placed in this spot helps to further elevate Ra's Al Ghul as the lead villain of this series. Where things go after the major reveal at the end of this issue will be very interesting.
