Longtime Marve;/Spider-scribe Dan Slott is “all in” at DC this summer, as he and artist Rafael Albuquerque will launch a new Superman ongoing series, Superman Unlimited, in May.
DC will share a preview of the new series in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1, as part of their Free Comic Book Day offering. They haven’t officially announced their FCBD plans yet, so it’s possible they could have other books as well.
Superman Unlimited is part of a bigger publishing initiative for the Superman family this summer, which they’re appropriately calling the “Summer of Superman.” Which of course lines up nicely with the big Superman movie by James Gunn that’s coming in July.
This isn’t Slott’s first time writing the character, as he wrote some issues of Superman Adventures early in his career. But writing an ongoing Superman title is something he’s been waiting to do ever since. His story already sounds like he’s taking a “Big Time” approach, as “Green K” begins transforming the world, the Daily Planet expands its reach and footprint under Lois Lane, and they even get a new IT pro from Gorilla City.
“He’s the first and the greatest superhero of all-time, and I’ve been waiting my whole life to tell stories about him,” said Slott, “Not 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—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 too. If you’ve never read a Superman book, a DC book, or any comic book before—or if you’ve been a Superman fan your entire life—you couldn’t ask for a better place to take the leap and go all in than Superman Unlimited #1.”
