DC Comics is set to launch a thrilling new monthly series titled Superman Unlimited in May 2025, marking the return of acclaimed Marvel writer Dan Slott to the DC Universe. Known for his impactful work on Marvel's The Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Fantastic Four, Slott previously contributed to DC titles like Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and Batman Adventures earlier in his career. Now, after two decades of being exclusive to Marvel, Slott is back to bring his unique storytelling to Superman Unlimited.

Joining Slott on this exciting venture is artist Rafael Albuquerque, renowned for his work on American Vampire, along with colorist Marcelo Maiolo. Slott expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "He’s the first and the greatest superhero of all-time, and I’ve been waiting my whole life to tell stories about him. Not just because of all the amazing powers he has, but because of who he is inside. Rafael Albuquerque and I are going to take him—and you—to places you’ll want to escape to every month. Millions of surprising ideas for Superman, Lois, the supporting cast, classic rogues, and all-new friends and foes too. If you’ve never read a Superman book, a DC book, or any comic book before—or if you’ve been a Superman fan your entire life—you couldn’t ask for a better place to take the leap and go all in than Superman Unlimited #1."

Superman Unlimited introduces a perilous new status quo for the Man of Steel. Following a Kryptonite asteroid that showers Earth with Green K, Superman faces new challenges as adversaries like Intergang wield weapons powered by his greatest weakness. This forces Superman to develop innovative technology and crime-fighting strategies to combat the escalating threat. Additionally, Clark Kent navigates a transformed Daily Planet, now merged with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications to form a global multimedia conglomerate.

DC group editor Paul Kaminski praised the series, saying, "Superman Unlimited adds to the foundation of DC’s Superman comics in the same way Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s Superman/Batman did in the early 2000s. Superman Unlimited will capture the big, fun, high-flying adventures that Superman is known for, while also providing big moments for DC’s Superman-related comics with the introduction of a massive new Kryptonite deposit. Imagine a world where Superman is stopping a bank robbery, but every weapon is packed with Kryptonite ammunition and every petty criminal carries a Kryptonite shiv. This is a world of unlimited danger on a level that Superman, and DC’s Superman family of characters, has never faced before."

Kaminski further elaborated on the series' place within DC's lineup, saying, "We just launched Justice League Unlimited in the fall, and Mark Waid and Dan Mora are telling a tale of unlimited Super Heroes in that ongoing series. In contrast, Slott and Albuquerque’s Superman Unlimited is a tale of unlimited Super-Villains that are super-charged by Kryptonite. Green K is everywhere. Superman is going to need to get to work and adapt to survive. Every line of Dan’s pitch is packed with surprises and every line Rafa draws is stunning… 2025 is truly going to be Superman UNLIMITED."

The series will kick off with a 10-page prelude in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1, releasing on May 3, 2025. The first issue of Superman Unlimited will follow on May 21, just before the July 11 release of James Gunn's Superman film.
