Without the fortress, without the family, without a home…what’s left is the Absolute Man of Steel!

Spiraling out of the catastrophic events of Absolute Power, a new side of the DC Universe is born—the Absolute Universe!  

In a different, darker world, Kal-El landed in a remote Kansas field, the last survivor from an alien planet…but even before that moment, nothing unfolded as you’d expect. As he tries to survive in a world seemingly determined to repeat the mistakes of the demolished Krypton, he’ll come into conflict with the globe-straddling Lazarus Corporation and its agenda of exploitation…and go fist-to-fist with its brutal army of Peacemakers!  

Best-selling writer Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is joined by superstar artist Rafa Sandoval (The Flash, Action Comics) to reinvent Superman from the ground up! Collects Absolute Superman #1-6.
