DC Comics announces Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series debuting May 2025, penned by Marvel veteran Dan Slott. This marks Slott's return to DC after a two-decade stint at Marvel, where he crafted acclaimed runs on titles such as The Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Fantastic Four. While Slott previously contributed to DC projects like Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and Batman Adventures, Superman Unlimited represents a significant homecoming.
The series pairs Slott with artist Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire) and colorist Marcelo Maiolo. Slott expressed his lifelong ambition to contribute to Superman's narrative, emphasizing not only the character's extraordinary abilities but also his inherent goodness. He promises a series filled with surprising twists and turns for Superman, Lois Lane, supporting characters, familiar villains, and entirely new adversaries.
Superman Unlimited introduces a perilous new reality for the Man of Steel. A Kryptonite asteroid shower leaves the planet saturated with Green K, empowering Intergang and other foes with Kryptonite-enhanced weaponry. This necessitates Superman's development of innovative technology and combat strategies. Simultaneously, Clark Kent faces upheaval at the Daily Planet, following its merger with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications, transforming it into a global media powerhouse.
DC group editor Paul Kaminski compares the series' impact to that of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness's Superman/Batman in the early 2000s, promising grand-scale adventures while significantly altering the landscape of DC's Superman-related comics. The widespread availability of Green K creates unprecedented challenges, forcing Superman and his allies to confront a new level of threat. Kaminski highlights the contrast between Superman Unlimited's focus on super-villains empowered by Kryptonite and the Justice League Unlimited series' emphasis on heroes.
A 10-page prelude story in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 (releasing May 3, 2025) precedes the launch of Superman Unlimited #1 on May 21, 2025, shortly before James Gunn's Superman film hits theaters on July 11.
