DC Previews ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #1 With New Interior Artwork From Rafa Sandoval
DC is riding high this week after a sellout launch for Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman. With a second printing of that book on the way and Absolute Wonder Woman #1 gearing up to release in a couple of weeks, the publisher has now revealed a first look at the book which will complete the Absolute Universe trinity, Absolute Superman #1.
The book, penned by award-winning writer Jason Aaron and featuring art by Rafa Sandoval, is now revealing final covers and interior artwork by series artist Sandoval and colourist Ulises Arreola ahead of its arrival at participating comic book shops and digital retailers Wednesday, November 6.
The events of DC All In Special #1 have created a new status quo for the DC Universe, where the core All In and Absolute universes coexist, united by a single prophecy, with the evil Darkseid at its centre. While the Super Heroes of the Absolute Universe share similar origins with their counterparts, they don’t have the same resources, and face new challenges and adversaries on their heroic journeys. Aaron and Sandoval’s Superman is still the last son of Krypton, but it remains to be seen if he can be the same symbol of hope and optimism in this strange new world.
Absolute Superman #1 is available for preorder now and features a main cover by Rafa Sandoval and Ulises Arreola, with variant covers by Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair (also available as a black and white cardstock variant), Wes Craig, Matteo Scalera, and Clayton Crain, plus a foil variant cover featuring the Absolute version of Superman’s iconic S shield. Contact your local comic book shop for more details and preordering.
Here’s a look at each of those incredible covers:
Absolute Superman #1 comes to comic book stores and digital platforms on November 6, 2024.
