Absolute Superman #21: Reign of the Superman Finale
BC
BLEEDING COOLAbsolute Superman #21 wraps up the "Reign of the Superman" arc as King Shazam and the Man of Steel face off in what promises to be the definitive battle. The issue determines which Superman will actually rule—a high-stakes conclusion to what's clearly been a significant storyline. Absolute Superman has been reimagining the classic character for a new generation with fresher takes on his mythology. This finale suggests the storyline's been building toward something genuinely momentous, not just another arc that winds down quietly.
ComicsBuzz Take
King Shazam as a major Superman antagonist signals DC's willing to flip classic power dynamics on their head in the Absolute line—expect more sacred cows to get similarly flipped before this run ends.
