DC Comics has announced the launch of Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series set to debut in May 2025. This exciting addition to the Superman universe marks the return of acclaimed writer Dan Slott to DC Comics after a long stint with Marvel, where he was known for his work on titles such as The Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Fantastic Four. Slott, who previously contributed to DC's Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and Batman Adventures, is teaming up with artist Rafael Albuquerque, renowned for American Vampire, and colorist Marcelo Maiolo for this venture.

In a statement, Slott expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “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 impacting Earth, Superman faces a world where his enemies, such as Intergang, are armed with Kryptonite-powered weapons. This forces him to develop new technology and crime-fighting strategies to combat this deadly new era. Simultaneously, Clark Kent navigates a transformed Daily Planet, which has merged with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications to become a global multimedia conglomerate.
*Superman Unlimited* aims to enhance DC's Superman comics similarly to how Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s *Superman/Batman* did in the early 2000s, according to DC group editor Paul Kaminski. “*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 also highlighted the contrast between Superman Unlimited and the recently launched Justice League Unlimited, written by Mark Waid and Dan Mora. “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 begin with a 10-page prelude story in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1, set for release on May 3, 2025. The official launch of Superman Unlimited #1 will follow on May 21, just before the July 11 release of James Gunn's Superman film.
