DC Comics announces Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series debuting May 2025, featuring Marvel veteran Dan Slott. Slott, renowned for his work on titles like The Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, returns to DC after a two-decade Marvel exclusivity. This marks a significant return for the writer, whose previous DC contributions include Arkham Asylum: Living Hell.
The series pairs Slott with artist Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire) and colorist Marcelo Maiolo. Slott expressed his lifelong ambition to craft Superman stories, highlighting not only the character's powers but his inherent nature. He promises a captivating monthly adventure.
Superman Unlimited introduces a perilous new reality for Superman. A Kryptonite asteroid shower leaves the planet saturated with Green K, empowering foes like Intergang with Kryptonite-enhanced weaponry. This compels Superman to develop innovative technology and combat strategies. Simultaneously, Clark Kent confronts a transformed Daily Planet, now a global media giant following its merger with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications.
DC group editor Paul Kaminski compares the series' impact to that of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness's Superman/Batman in the early 2000s. He emphasizes the series' focus on large-scale adventures while introducing a significant plot point: a massive Kryptonite deposit. This creates a world where even mundane crimes pose an amplified threat to Superman.
Kaminski further contrasts Superman Unlimited with the concurrently running Justice League Unlimited, highlighting the former's focus on super-villains empowered by the widespread Green K. He praises Slott's inventive storyline and Albuquerque's stunning artwork, promising a landmark year for Superman in 2025.
The series begins with a 10-page prelude in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 (May 3, 2025), followed by Superman Unlimited #1 on May 21, preceding James Gunn's Superman film (July 11).
