DC Announces Brand New Comic Series, ‘Superman Unlimited’

DC Comics have just announced a brand new ongoing comic book series titled ‘Superman Unlimited’. The series will be written by Dan Slott, with interior art by Rafael Albuquerque. It is set to be a Superman comic series “for the ages” as an influx of Kryptonite transforms the DC Universe.

Within the series The Daily Planet is confirmed to have gone global and will have offices in Coast City and Gotham City to name a few, it will also have a brand new IT Specialist who is from Gorilla City… interesting! Dan Slott is known for his expansive world-building over at Marvel Comics and now, he is set to make his DC ongoing comic book series debut with this brand new title! Here’s a look at the cover by Rafael Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo:

The series is set to be a ‘driving force’ and ‘key title’ in DC’s upcoming All In ‘Summer of Superman’ publishing initiative alongside the ‘Action Comics’ and ‘Superman’ title. With regard to the ‘Summer of Superman’ comment, there will be more news on that in the coming weeks, though DC has confirmed that it will feature limited and ongoing series starring Superboy, Supergirl, Krypto, and more, and the event will highlight DC’s deep roster of Superman-related characters.

Here is the official synopsis from DC:

To kick off DC’s Superman Unlimited series in May, a massive extinction-level Kryptonite asteroid showers Superman’s 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!

Superman Unlimited won’t just provide Superman’s nemeses with near-unlimited Kryptonite: the Daily Planetgets an upgrade. A merger with a new incarnation of Morgan Edge’s Galaxy Communications expands theDaily Planet brand into a multimedia news platform with a cable news channel, website, strong social media presence, and—yes—Lois Lane is still editor in chief. Daily Planet 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’s goddaughter, Tee-Nah.

‘Superman Unlimited’ is set for release on Wednesday 21st May 2025 and will be available to pre-order from your local comic shops. If like me, you can’t wait that long, you can also read the 10 page ‘Zero Issue’ Prelude within ‘DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1’, which will be available on Free Comic Book Day on 3rd May.
