Absolute Superman Jason Aaron Comments On Brainiac’s Future

Okay, so Jason Aaron’s Absolute Superman is seriously amazing – everyone’s been saying it’s one of the best Superman comics in ages, and I totally agree. Now that Brainiac is playing a bigger role in the story, Aaron’s been teasing what’s coming next, and honestly, I’m super hyped to see where he takes things. It sounds like it’s going to be epic!

Aaron clarified that Brainiac is now Superman’s primary enemy, even when they aren’t directly confronting each other. He also noted that readers may recognize elements of this Brainiac from previous stories, as there’s a larger Brainiac ‘collective’ that DC will continue to explore throughout the history of the DC Universe. According to Aaron, they’ve only begun to reveal the full scope of Brainiac’s story.

The writer of the DC Comics series Absolute Superman explained that Brainiac’s story will be an ongoing and significant part of the narrative. Unlike villains who appear briefly, Brainiac will continue to develop as a character, much like Superman himself. He won’t just show up for a single conflict and then vanish.
