Sep 02, 2026Absolute Superman #23 is hard hitting and intense as Kal-El is hunting Braniac, who is always ahead of him by mere seconds. The mind games mix into reality and pushes Superman in a way I don’t believe any of us have ever seen in a comic before. This issue will leave you sitting and thinking with your own thoughts and is one that should be talked about as one of the most powerful superhero issue of the year. Read Full Review

Immaculate as always. Aaron is just wonderful. In the context of the Absolute Universe, this was still quite shocking.
