Superman Unlimited Brings Marvel Mainstay Dan Slott Back to DC Comics

DC Comics announces Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series debuting May 2025, penned by 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 series pairs Slott with artist Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire) and colorist Marcelo Maiolo.

Slott states, "He's the greatest superhero, and I've waited my whole life to tell his stories. Rafael and I will take him—and you—to incredible places each month. Expect surprising twists involving Superman, Lois, classic villains, and brand-new foes. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer, Superman Unlimited #1 is the perfect jumping-on point."

Superman Unlimited introduces a perilous new reality. A Kryptonite asteroid shower arms Intergang with Kryptonite weapons, forcing Superman to develop advanced technology and combat strategies. Simultaneously, Clark Kent faces a transformed Daily Planet, now a global media giant after merging with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications.

DC group editor Paul Kaminski compares the series to Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness's Superman/Batman, stating it will deliver classic Superman adventures while introducing a massive new Kryptonite deposit. He describes a world where even petty criminals wield Kryptonite weapons, creating unprecedented danger for Superman and his allies.

Kaminski further explains that while Justice League Unlimited focuses on unlimited heroes, Superman Unlimited presents a world of unlimited, Kryptonite-enhanced super-villains. Superman must adapt to survive this new threat.

A 10-page prelude story launches in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 on May 3, 2025, followed by Superman Unlimited #1 on May 21, preceding James Gunn's Superman film.
