Absolute Superman #5 by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval is out from DC Comics tomorrow continuing to retell the familiar tale of Superman.

Absolute Superman #5 by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval is out from DC Comics tomorrow and it looks like it is continuing to tell the familiar tale of Superman in a very unfamiliar way. In previous issues, we have seen Kal-El growing up on Krypton with his parents, Jor-El and Lana-El. In a Krypton riven by caste distinction, the House Of El revolts against it. And an attempt, rather than save one child from the impending apocalypse, to save a whole town’s worth of people. But it looks like even when that happens, there is a new danger, according to this page from tomorrow’s Absolute Superman #5 currently doing the rounds…

Silly Kal-El, the Absolute Universe is not about hope, quite the opposite… and as Clockwise taught us, it is not the despair that will get you, it’s the hope. A Kryptonite asteroid destroying what was, though somehow Kal-El making it through? How might that change his motivation and practices? Absolute Superman #5 by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval is published tomorrow by DC Comics.
