DC Announce New Black Label Series, ‘Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum’

DC’s ‘Summer Of Superman’ continues… they have just announced a brand new DC Black Label series titled ‘Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum’.

The DC Black Label series is set to be a 5 issue run written by W. Maxwell Prince with art and cover by Martín Morazzo, colors by Chris O’Halloran and lettering by Good Old Neon. They are set to bring their signature genre-bending storytelling to DC with an existential superhero fantasy/horror set in the world of Superman.

Within the series Superman is set to come into contact with every type of Kryptonite under the yellow sun and must look inward to find strength to overcome his most famous weakness. Each issue promises to explore different facets of Superman’s character, mythos, and moral core, while bending narrative form in ways only Prince, Morazzo and O’Halloran can.

Here’s a look at some of the interior art by Martin Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran:

W. Maxwell Prince said, “We’ve developed a reputation for pretty left-of-center experimentation, with respect to comics storytelling, and this is basically what we’re doing over the 5 issues of Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum: using our unique voice in comics to tell a Supes yarn that’s both strange and timeless—out there and also totally grounded. You might know what Green, Red and Black Kryptonite does to Superman, but what about Purple? Or Cobalt? Or Speckled?”

‘Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum’ features variant covers by Tula Lotay, Juan Ferreyra, Wes Craig and Alex Eckman-Lawn.

Here’s the official synopsis from DC:
In the upcoming comic book series, four new Kryptonites have been discovered in deep space, and Superman needs to know just what, exactly, they do to him—lest the colorful rocks of his home planet fall into evil hands! With Batman at his side, this DC Black Label Superman five-issue event explores the consequences of each never-before-seen variety of Kryptonite—all in the formal, and boundary-pushing fashion, that Prince, Morazzo, and O’Halloran are celebrated for.

‘Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1’ is set for release on on 13th August 2025.
