The Read Dweebs are back in the Absolute Universe to see if Kal-El can catch a break (spoiler: he can’t). We’re breaking down issues 4–6, where ICE Agent Lois Lane is hunting our drifter hero across the globe while Jimmy Olsen turns out to be a literal space revolutionary with the Omega Men. We dive into the heartbreaking, high-stakes finale of Krypton and a Smallville origin story that’s more "trauma-fueled survival" than "wholesome farm life." Between Peacemaker getting gaslit by a computer and the shocking reveal of who's actually running Lazarus Corp, this Man of Steel is officially through with playing nice.
