After the spectacle of The Battle of Kansas, Aaron shows us the true burden of being Superman. He's still the person everyone needs, and he doesn't get to rest because there's always one more person in danger. Read Full Review
Absolute Superman #15 is a comic that mistakes ambition for execution and exhaustion for depth. The idea of exploring what comes after victory is genuinely worthwhile, and Ferreyra's art deserves praise for selling isolation and exhaustion through color and composition, but Aaron's script lacks focus and stakes. The heavy-handed social commentary about billionaires and environmental collapse reads like a checklist of issues Superman should care about rather than a story that trusts readers to understand why these moments matter. Without clear narrative momentum or meaningful character growth, the issue feels like Superman is running in place, screaming at crises he cannot solve while readers watch and wait for something to actually happen.

Best issue yet. Superman has all the time in the world, and he spends it with kindness, and with love for those who cannot defend themselves.
Aaron truly understands Superman and what makes him tick. I hope he stays on the title for a looong time. Ferreyra’s art was fantastic, particularly his colors.
he's a starman waiting in the sky
Coming back to this title after accidentally dropping it in issue 8.
There’s a lot of really super stuff going on, however an equal amount of seemingly unnecessary things that Aaron apparently needs to add. Kind of feels like a disservice towards the book more so than anything else..
It is a start and I am intrigued.
Ferreyra’s art is a definite a plus.
