Spoilers abound!

I’m really loving the Absolute stuff so far, and of what I’ve read, Superman is the best. Kal-El gets a whole childhood with his working class family on Krypton, and the depiction of environmental devastation is very tightly wound with the explicit class politics of the series.

Absolute comics start from the basic premise of heroes reimagined without class advantages, and they take dramatic swings with the characters that have been paying off consistently.

Looking forward to reading Flash and Martian Manhunter next.
