Authore: OwenUpdate:Mar 14,2025

DC Comics announces Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series debuting May 2025, bringing acclaimed Marvel writer Dan Slott back to DC. Slott, known for The Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Fantastic Four, returns after a two-decade Marvel run, previously contributing to DC titles like Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and Batman Adventures.

Superman Unlimited pairs Slott with artist Rafael Albuquerque and colorist Marcelo Maiolo. Slott states, “He’s the first and greatest superhero, and I’ve waited my whole life to tell his stories…Rafael Albuquerque and I will take him—and you—to places you’ll want to escape to every month. Millions of surprising ideas for Superman, Lois, the supporting cast, classic rogues, and all-new friends and foes.”

The series introduces a perilous new reality. A Kryptonite asteroid shower arms Intergang with Kryptonite weapons, forcing Superman to develop new technology and tactics. Simultaneously, Clark Kent faces a transformed Daily Planet, now a global multimedia conglomerate after merging with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications.

DC group editor Paul Kaminski compares the series to Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s Superman/Batman, stating Superman Unlimited will deliver “big, fun, high-flying adventures…while providing big moments…with a massive new Kryptonite deposit. Imagine a world where Superman faces Kryptonite-enhanced criminals.” He further notes the contrast with Justice League Unlimited, calling Superman Unlimited a tale of “unlimited Super-Villains…Green K is everywhere. Superman must adapt.”
