Absolute Superman #2 (2024) Rafael Albuquerque Card Stock Variant Cover – A Collector’s MasterpieceEmbark on the bold reimagining of the Man of Steel with Absolute Superman #2 (2024) Rafael Albuquerque Card Stock Variant Cover, available exclusively at VegasComics.com. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval, this issue deepens the Absolute Universe’s saga of Clark Kent as a fugitive from Krypton’s Labor Guild. Rafael Albuquerque’s striking variant cover, praised on Reddit for its raw intensity, makes this a must-have for collectors and investors.

Key Appearances
Titled “Last Dust of Krypton, Part Two,” Absolute Superman #2 features 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 key 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. Albuquerque’s cover, noted for its connection to his original character designs, adds significant collectible value.


Current Value
Released December 4, 2024, the Absolute Superman #2 Rafael Albuquerque Card Stock Variant is valued at $12–$18 in NM- to NM/M (9.2–9.8) condition on eBay, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $35–$55, as seen in listings from Neighborhood Comics ($5.99 retail) and Third Eye Comics. Its card stock format and Albuquerque’s reputation, built on American Vampire, drive premiums, especially for graded copies with acrylic backers.


Expected Value and Trends
This issue’s value is poised for growth, fueled by the Absolute Universe’s popularity and DC’s 2025 initiatives. Albuquerque’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 $30–$50. The release of Absolute Green Lantern (March 2025) and the Absolute Superman #1-7 hardcover (August 2025) will further elevate its potential.
