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.

Until Mark’s homemade scanning rig discovers the shocking truth about the crop circles—they’re instructions for space travel.

Don’t read these comics before going to sleep. From silent terrors to sinister hauntings, IDW Publishing’s horror imprint IDW Dark is expanding with four new comic book series​ that are guaranteed to slither under your skin and give you nightmares. Coming in 2026 are: Smile, A Quiet Place, Operation: Iron Coffin, and The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace.

Unleashing psychological supernatural scares in comic shops next February is Smile: For the Camera #1. From horror writer Hannah Rose May and artist Miriana Puglia, the frightening tale brings readers back to the year 2005 to follow a group of international models as they kick off Fashion Month in New York. They’re dying to smile for the camera, but paranoia quickly creeps in as the mysterious Smile Entity begins to stalk the group.

Invading comic stores next March is A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #1 from the blockbuster creative duo of writer and layout artist Phil Hester and artist Ryan Kelly. As spine-chilling creatures create chaos around the globe and slaughter anything that makes a sound, a small island town in the midwest will struggle to survive in silence as the ferocious and seemingly unstoppable extraterrestrial terrors lurk all around them. 

Spooking shops next March is The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1, the sequel to the hit IDW original horror series The Exorcism at 1600 Penn. Writer Hannah Rose May returns to craft a new demonic saga and is joined by artist Kelsey Ramsay to torment London’s royal residence and reveal its shocking family curse.

Crashing into comic shops next July is Operation: Iron Coffin #1, a new IDW original horror from writer Kenny Porter and artist Tyrell Cannon. Based on Dracula by Bram Stoker, this action-packed thriller transports readers to World War II as a British bomber drops an iron coffin onto a heavily fortified Nazi train full of superweapons. Dracula emerges, ready to tear through hordes of enemies and stop Hitler from creating an army of vampires to win the war.

An astronaut, a magician with a dangerous past, and a desperate engineer build a ship not of physics, but of magic…  Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce The New Space Age—a psychedelic sci-fi heart-wrencher that asks, “How far would we go to save the people we love, and what happens when belief itself becomes the engine for exploration?”

From writer Kenny Porter and artist Mike Becker, with colors by Kevin Betou, letters by Buddy Beaudoin, and featuring a cover B by Khary Randolph and retailer incentive by Daniel Warren Johnson, The New Space Age charts a course beyond the stars in this exciting five-issue limited series!

Disgraced astronaut Mark Mitchell has only ever had one true mission—to find his little brother Joey, who was abducted by aliens from a crop circle when they were little. But when Mark’s hotshot piloting gets him grounded and the last of the public space program defunded, Mark loses his only means of finding Joey out in space. 

Until Mark’s homemade scanning rig discovers the shocking truth about the crop circles—they’re instructions for space travel.

Mark will need to uncover the hidden messages that have been left on Earth for years, and reverse engineer the magic that can finally help him find Joey.

With its blend of modern magic through the lens of science and found family, The New Space Age delivers a cosmic story about belief, betrayal, and the boundless hope of human connection. It’s Flight of the Navigator for a new era, a psychedelic sci-fi heart-wrencher that asks us all to believe in something bigger—whether in each other, or the unknown that waits among the stars.

The New Space Age #1 lands in comic shops and digital platforms, including Mad Cave’s series subscription bundle, on December 17, 2025.
