Titled “Last Dust of Krypton, Part Two,” Absolute Superman #2 sees Kal-El hunted by Lazarus Corp’s Peacemakers, forming a tense alliance with a reimagined Lois Lane, a motor-mouthed operative who cuffs him, per DC’s preview. It explores Clark’s struggle to protect Earth, introducing new Absolute Universe dynamics. Part of the 2024 Eisner-nominated “Best New Series” with a 9.5/10 Reddit rating, its sellout success (following #1’s 400,000 copies) underscores its demand.
Released December 4, 2024, the Absolute Superman #2 Mateus Manhanini Card Stock Variant is valued at $10–$15 in NM- to NM/M (9.2–9.8) condition on eBay, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $30–$50, as seen in listings from Cape and Cowl Comics ($5.99 retail) and Midtown Comics. Signed editions by Jason Aaron command $14.99 at Third Eye Comics. Its card stock and Manhanini’s rising fame, noted for G.O.D.S., drive premiums.
This issue’s value is poised for growth, fueled by the Absolute Universe’s popularity and DC’s 2025 initiatives. Manhanini’s variants, with #1’s covers at $50–$75 CGC 9.8, are appreciating, per GoCollect. Events like Fan Expo Cleveland 2025, featuring exclusive variants, and DC’s “Summer of Superman” campaign may boost visibility, potentially increasing values by 20–30% within 12–18 months, with CGC-graded copies hitting $25–$45. The release of Absolute Green Lantern (March 2025) and the Absolute Superman #1-7 hardcover (August 2025) will further elevate its potential.
Don’t miss this pivotal issue in DC’s transformative Absolute Universe. With its gripping narrative, Lois Lane’s reimagined role, and Mateus Manhanini’s stunning variant cover, Absolute Superman #2 is a cornerstone for collectors.
