The issue is so silver age that one character even says something like "we are about to go silver age". I love it.

Part two of our Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman story- Bruce Wayne is on a desperate hunt to help his friend Waylon, now transformed into a monstrous crocodile roaming the sewers, consumed with a deadly hunger.

Not a bad issue, but plagued by strange plot solutions: Joker x Zatanna and Lex x Aquaman made little sense. The art is as strong as always. The cliffhanger is cool and I will stick with the series until the end. As far as events go, not the worst one...

While AWW is objectively the best absolute series, AS is my favorite. Last issue was a banger and the current one is maybe the bast in the series. I feel like Aaron is finally focusing on Clark now and we are having a better understanding of the character. While I like ferreyra art a lot, Rafa work is deeply missed. Very excited for Supes vs absolute hawkman.

Absolute Superman #15
By: Jason Aaron, Juan Ferreyra
Released: January 7, 2026
In the shocking aftermath of the Battle of Kansas, Superman wrestles with profound changes to his life, his allies, and even his costume. But more importantly, there's work to be done, as we experience a day in the life of the world's busiest superhero-and welcome guest artist Juan Ferreyra (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) to the series!

I fell like the series is improving. For the first time, I felt like the main character was in real danger. Nevertheless, AGL is still the worst series in the line. It's a shame because Ewing is an excellent writer.

I like how "absolute evil" and now "ark m" gave us additional layers of world building to the absolute universe. Absolute joker is definitely an interesting and intriguing character, which is amazing, considering that the joker is maybe the most popular villain in pop culture. They still managed to give us a fresh take on him. The art has a welcome horror vibe. I would read a limited series abou more

I would read a Jorge Jimenez book even if it was written by rob liefeld. Jorge art is unbelievable Kinect and his use of colors is masterful. Thankfully, fraction script is enjoyable. It felt like a fun early 2000 book and I enjoyed his use of Bruce Wayne. I fell like, for the past fifteen years or so, people forgot Bruce and simply focus on Batman. Loved the cliffhanger. IMO, this series keeps ge more

A night out with Bruce Wayne goes off the rails immediately for Dr. Annika Zeller-it seems her experimental Crown of Storms has her marked for death. And if they survive the legendary 000 Gang, they'll still have to confront the sinister assassin known as The Ojo!

Shamelessly Silver Age. It's got the imagination, the silliness, and most importantly, the heart. This book is everything that makes DC Comics great - fantasy and humor grounded in real emotion.
Clever theme that I don't see too often - about how Superman sees Kryptonite as a form of rejection from his home planet. Sad stuff... very excited to see how this story concludes.

It's a shame that the power fantasy is not topping the charts and selling out. It's is one of the most intriguing and smart comics on stands right now. It's the best X-men story of the last five years and nobody is reading it. If you like superhero comics, you should check it.

I had almost the same experience as you. It has glipses of brilliance, but overall, it is very underwhelming. But I like the space dog and the combat robot that befriends Bruce :)

Yeah, agreed! I really liked Punch-Bot and the dog was also a great addition to the story. I decided to get the kindle version once it went on sale. But I have yet to read it. It's been so long I'll probably have to read it all over from the beginning. But eventually I'll get to it. ðŸ˜

If you were to tell me that this series about Krypton the Superego would be one of my favorite to come out of this year, I would have called you crazy and an idiot. How does a dog outpace Batman, Superman, the Absolute Series, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Daredevil?
Yet Ryan North made me eat my words. This was a solid series and the definitive Krypton the super dog series in my eyes.

Agreed. This was one of the more entertaining reads from DC in a while. But there were certain plot points that lingered a bit long, while other parts felt they could have used a bit more breathing room. This ending felt like it needed to play catch-up a bit too quickly.
