Last forrnight's Superman #27 saw Darkseid's Legion, the presumed Absolute Legion, make plans to encounter the non-Absolute Superman, on behalf of their deceased master Darkseid, whose energy was used to create the Absolute Universe, their world.

A Father Box. I blame the patriarchy. But hey, it saved the life of Absolute Superman…

But Sol isn't happy…

And this world may be corrupting Absolute Superman already.

Saved for a reason and plans made for him.

You can see why Sol might be a little concerned.

It looks like Darkseid is planning for a future for the Absolute Universe very much like that of Apokolips. Could this be the world that the Absolute Legion are from? And that we glimpsed in the DC All-In Special?

And coming to a Superman #28 near you soon?
