Description

Absolute Superman #16 is a direct sequel to Absolute Evil #1 , changing the entire direction of the Absolute Universe. Superman finds himself at the forefront of a new era of heroes, but he quickly learns an uncomfortable truth: he wasn't the world's first superpowered protector.

Hawkman enters the scene, seasoned, cynical, and with a very clear view of what it means to be a hero. Whether Superman is ready to listen or not, this lesson will be crucial. Jason Aaron constructs a mythology in which heroism has a history, a price, and consequences.
