DC reveals Three Elseworlds Series for the Summer, Superman: Father of Tomorrow, Supergirl: Survive, and Dark Knights of Steel II

Posted on by

DC Elseworlds continues its resurgence this summer as the line’s new series for 2026 begin to arrive from some of comics’ most exciting storytellers.

After first hinting that a new DC Elseworlds series, Supergirl: Survive, would launch during DC’s Summer of Supergirl celebration, DC now unveils the full scope of its next wave of alternate–universe storytelling with Supergirl: Survive, Superman: Father of Tomorrow, and Dark Knights of Steel II. In Supergirl: Survive, teenage Kara Zor-El and infant Kal-El are launched into a hostile universe as Krypton burns around them, while Superman: Father of Tomorrow imagines a world where Jor-El, not his newborn son, crash-lands in Kansas and becomes Earth’s greatest protector. And, in Dark Knights of Steel II, the fan-favorite fantasy epic returns to forge a new legend.

SUPERGIRL: SURVIVE

Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems—school dances, family squabbles, and the impossible task of holding her floppy baby cousin Kal—but Krypton has big ones. As General Zod tightens his grip and the planet begins to burn, Kara and Kal are launched into the stars together, trapped in a prototype rocket and fighting to survive a universe that doesn’t care if they live or die.

Supergirl: Survive, a new DC Elseworlds comic book series written by Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan with art and covers by Rod Reis, launches on June 3. Parker and Sheridan (Eisner Award-nominees for Kill Your Darlings) join visionary artist Reis (New Mutants) for a harrowing Elseworlds tale of two refugees bound by blood, trauma, and hope.

SUPERMAN: FATHER OF TOMORROW

When the planet Krypton explodes, a lone rocket escapes the destruction—not carrying Kal-El, but his father. Jor-El crash-lands in Kansas, where a kindly couple takes him in. As he adjusts to life on Earth, Jor-El discovers he can help his new home not only with his powers, but with his brilliant mind. This is the story of a Man of Steel and Science—and the world he saves.

Superman: Father of Tomorrow, a new DC Elseworlds comic book series written by Kenny Porter with art and covers by Danny Earls, launches just ahead of Supergirl: Survive, on May 27.

DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL II

DC will also return to one of its most beloved alternate–universe sagas with Dark Knights of Steel II, launching July 15 from writer Tom Taylor and artist Otto Schmidt, with covers by Yasmine Putri. More details will be revealed soon.
