Absolute Superman #24: Friend of Steel Review
Absolute Superman #24 kicks off the 'Get Brainiac' arc as Kal-El seeks out John Irons to help him track down his most dangerous foe. The issue explores the origins of Steel while featuring a gritty confrontation with a transformed Metallo.
Written by Jason Aaron with art by Juan Ferreyra, this installment balances intense action with modern political themes. The narrative continues to reimagine the Man of Steel as a champion for the working class against corporate exploitation. While the reviewer notes some repetitive pacing in previous arcs, this new chapter is praised for its fresh energy and emotional depth. Ferreyra's expressive, earth-toned visuals effectively complement the story's gritty atmosphere.
