DC Comics is kicking off 2026 with a six-string scream. This January, DC will publish a set of punk rock-themed variant covers across six comic book titles that feature Superman, Supergirl, and more, each one a rebellious remix of the Man (and Woman) of Tomorrow, brought to life by some of comics’ most fearless artists.
From safety pins to zine-style slogans, these comic book covers channel the raw energy, DIY spirit, and anti-establishment ethos of punk rock, all while celebrating the enduring power of Superman, Supergirl, and their allies to stand up, speak out, and fight for what’s right. Kindness is the new punk rock!
