DC today announced a new ongoing comic book series,\u00a0Superman Unlimited<\/em>\u00a0by Dan Slott and Rafael Albuquerque, launching in May 2025. Dan Slott, known for his expansive world-building as the writer of\u00a0Amazing<\/em>\u00a0Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Mighty Avengers, Superior Spider-Man\u00a0<\/em>and more, makes his DC ongoing comic book series debut with\u00a0Superman Unlimited<\/em>.

Superman Unlimited\u00a0<\/em>will be a driving force and key title in DC\u2019s upcoming All In \u201cSummer of Superman\u201d publishing initiative, along with DC\u2019s\u00a0Action Comics<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Superman<\/em>\u00a0comic book series, and more. Look for more \u201cSummer of Superman\u201d news in the coming weeks!

Superman Unlimited\u00a0<\/em>#1 will be available at local comic book shops and online retailers on Wednesday May 21, and the\u00a0new ongoing series will launch with a 10-page prelude by Slott and Albuquerque in\u00a0DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition<\/em>\u00a0#1 on Saturday, May 3, as part of DC\u2019s Free Comic Book Day programming. This is the perfect time for both regular comic book readers and new readers to jump on board for an all-new era for Superman!

\u201cHe\u2019s the first and the greatest superhero of all-time, and I\u2019ve been waiting my whole life to tell stories about him,\u201d said Slott, \u201cNot just because of all the amazing powers he has, but because of who he is inside. Rafael Albuquerque and I are going to take him\u2014and you\u2014to places you\u2019ll want to escape to every month. Millions of surprising ideas for Superman, Lois, the supporting cast, classic rogues, and all-new friends and foes too. If you\u2019ve never read a Superman book, a DC book, or\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>comic book before\u2014or if you\u2019ve been a Superman fan your entire life\u2014you couldn\u2019t ask for a better place to take the leap and go all in than\u00a0Superman Unlimited<\/em>\u00a0#1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To kick off DC\u2019s Superman Unlimited<\/em> series in May, a massive extinction-level Kryptonite asteroid showers Superman\u2019s greatest weakness down upon the earth, creating an arms race for the new most valuable resource on the planet: Green K. The greater availability of Kryptonite in the DC Universe changes the balance of power in the criminal empires of Metropolis and across the globe: Intergang, under new leadership, is on the rise, with practically all their foot soldiers carrying at least one clip of Kryptonite bullets on them. The asteroid left massive Kryptonite deposits to be mined, and it houses unlimited horrors yet to be unpacked. To survive, Superman will need to forge new alliances, new tech and new tactics if he hopes to carry on his quest for truth, justice and a better tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superman Unlimited<\/em> won\u2019t just provide Superman\u2019s nemeses with near-unlimited Kryptonite: the Daily Planet<\/em> gets an upgrade. A merger with a new incarnation of Morgan Edge\u2019s Galaxy Communications expands the Daily Planet<\/em> brand into a multimedia news platform with a cable news channel, website, strong social media presence, and\u2014yes\u2014Lois Lane is still editor in chief. Daily Planet<\/em> regulars Jimmy Olsen, Ron Troupe, Cat Grant and Steve Lombard will staff satellite branches across the DC universe, creating a global network. Behind it all is the tech savvy of a new IT specialist from Gorilla City, King Solovar\u2019s goddaughter, Tee-Nah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuperman Unlimited<\/em> adds to the foundation of DC\u2019s Superman comics in the same way Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness\u2019s Superman<\/em>\/Batman<\/em> did in the early 2000s,\u201d said DC group editor Paul Kaminski. \u201cSuperman Unlimited<\/em> will capture the big, fun, high-flying adventures that Superman is known for, while also providing big moments for DC\u2019s Superman-related comics with the introduction of a massive new Kryptonite deposit. Imagine a world where Superman is stopping a bank robbery, but every weapon is packed with Kryptonite ammunition and every petty criminal carries a Kryptonite shiv. This is a world of unlimited danger on a level that Superman, and DC\u2019s Superman family of characters, has never faced before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe just launched Justice League Unlimited<\/em> in the fall, and Mark Waid and Dan Mora are telling a tale of unlimited Super Heroes in that ongoing series,\u201d continued Kaminski. \u201cIn contrast, Slott and Albuquerque\u2019s Superman Unlimited<\/em> is a tale of unlimited Super-Villains that are super-charged by Kryptonite. Green K is everywhere. Superman is going to need to get to work and adapt to survive. Every line of Dan\u2019s pitch is packed with surprises and every line Rafa draws is stunning\u2026 2025 is truly going to be Superman UNLIMITED.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superman Unlimited <\/em>#1, written by Dan Slott with art and cover by Rafael Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo, will publish on May 21, 2025. Main cover will retail at $4.99 US while card stock variants will retail at $5.99 US. DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition<\/em> #1, containing the 10-page \u201cZero Issue\u201d of the new ongoing series, will publish on Saturday May 3, offered for free while supplies last at participating comic book stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC\u2019s \u201cSummer of Superman\u201d comic books will feature limited and ongoing series starring Superboy, Supergirl, Krypto, and more, and the event will highlight DC\u2019s deep roster of Superman-related characters.
