Absolute Superman #22 Preview

 

Ra's Al Ghul is dead. His daughter Talia languishes in prison. The global powerhouse they ran, that imposed their order on the world, is dead. Yet a vestige of Lazarus Corps' former power remains. The beings who uplifted Teth-Adam with the power of the gods, only to imprison the Egyptian boy for 3,000 years, still live. But what has Brainiac done since Ra's Al Ghul used it to try to control Kal-El? And who will they use to enact their vicious plans?
