Superman was once known as "Champion of the oppressed" in his early days. I see what Jason Aaron is up to so far.

[Bullsye]

The sun crest is what Jor-El wore in the silver age, It wasn't 'til the 78 movie that the S being for Superman's whole family was normalized.

[IAmImprintJones]

Broke Batman, Wonder Woman raised in hell, and a Superman raised by common blue collared family on Krypton.... Absolute is ABSOLUTELY killing it 🙏🏾☝🏾☝🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This Absloute series is the update I needed for heroes I grew up with my whole life. Excellent takes on classic characters.

[Noctis]

I love this version of Superman so much. A beacon of Hope in a world where there is none. Sounds alot like these days. We need that and I'm for it.

[samuelakinrinlola]

This is a fresh take on Superman i didn't know I needed. It's pretty refreshing to see

Nightwing is somewhere furious someone stole his haircut

[akashdey]

How come all the design from the new absolute universe wins my heart, this is just not fair. First Batman and his bat eared blades, then it was Womder woman and her giant Berserk Sword then it Superman and his awesome metallic costume.

[hdafkaksbfabfbao]

I was never that into Superman that much, but this Absolute universe is going to have me reading ever book that comes about about them. I’m so hyped for this universe

[sunmoon]

[misfitking_]

[rounakmanna]

Hope needs to burn brighter than ever just to survive.
Absolute universe stories are incredible so far.

[donjoel]

The changes they made to these key heroes is the DC I remember as a kid. If they incorporated this into modern DC Media as Movies they would be making a alot by now.

[carbodude]

This goes to show that you can have a darker and edgier take on Superman *without* being so cynical about it or completely ignoring the fundamental parts of the character

I totally approve of a Superman story that isn't even bothering to be subtle about its "working class vs the snooty ruling class" theme

[brysonrichardson]

The absolute series so far is amazing this new take on dc is what we need comic wise

[greyworld]

This is such a cool superman and I want to see more!

Hope is truly the underdog!

[gregsmith]

I hope they do an animated universe with these absolute versions!!

[CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

HELL YEAH!! I absolutely LOVE this 1st issue, it's a perfect set up to such an interesting and clever remixing of Superman's origin! The Champion of the downtrodden workings class, Son of two disgraced super geniuses turned activists against this new oppressive status based Kryptonian society that inevitably fell to the consumption of resources and the idea of that repeating itself here on Earth with Brainiac and Lois Lane as the driving forces behind it is an awesome origin for Superman and story going forward which so far is immaculately executed!

[plucas]

"The League Of Middle Management"

Lol! Move over Darkseid, there's a new top dog in the Pure Evil Villain department!

[kang]

This is probably the best version of Superman we've seen in years
