Anne's Reviews > Absolute Superman (2024-) #6

A much different time with the Kents.



Still the same sweet couple, but on a different world with a different timeline, a much older Kal-El is taken in and nursed back to health by Martha and Jonathan.
The end result is...well, a spoiler.



We've seen Brainiac behind the scenes, but there's another of Superman's villains pulling the strings. And when they were revealed, I couldn't believe I didn't guess it beforehand.



Anyway. This issue ends the first arc of Aaron's Absolute Superman. It's an interesting take on the character, and certainly not something that I've seen before. Kudos for taking the characters into a whole new direction. Having said all of that, I'm not sure why I don't like this more than I do. I'm hoping that it's not just because I'm set in my ways and don't like change, but that's certainly a possibility. It just feels like it's missing something that I can't put my finger on.
I'm definitely going to keep reading this, though.
