Absolute Superman #19 Preview

 

While the Klerics enslaved Krypton with their lies, they secretly plotted to escape their ailing planet. The lords of Earth have followed a similar pattern of cruelty and domination. Kal-El dares to dream of a better future for his adoptive planet. Yet powerful rulers, like the Al Ghuls, Jack Grimm, and Veronica Cale of GATES, oppress the working class, and drain Earth of its resources in their unending quest for power.

Now, new forces are arising to stop them. They claim they want to be the savior of the world. But after seeing what power did to Hawkman, can Superman trust King Shazam? Or is anyone touched by Brainiac doomed to become an oppressor?
