Superman Unlimited by Dan Slott and Rafael Albuquerque launches May 2025

DC has announced Superman Unlimited by Dan Slott and Rafael Albuquerque, launching on May 21, 2025. Dan Slott, known for his expansive world-building as the writer of Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Mighty Avengers, Superior Spider-Man and more, makes his DC ongoing comic book series debut with Superman Unlimited.

Superman Unlimited will be a driving force and key title in DC’s upcoming All In “Summer of Superman” publishing initiative, along with DC’s Action Comics and Superman comic book series, and more. 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. Look for more “Summer of Superman” news in the coming weeks!

The new ongoing series will launch with a 10-page prelude by Slott and Albuquerque in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 on Saturday, May 3, as part of DC’s Free Comic Book Day programming. This is the perfect time for both regular comic book readers and new readers to jump on board for an all-new era for Superman!

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 Planet gets an upgrade. A merger with a new incarnation of Morgan Edge’s Galaxy Communications expands the Daily 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 #1, written by Dan Slott with art and cover by Rafael Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo, that will retail at $4.99 US while card stock variants will retail at $5.99 US.
