Dan Slott Returns to DC Comics with Superman Unlimited

DC Comics has announced the launch of a thrilling new monthly series, Superman Unlimited, set to debut in May 2025. This series marks the return of acclaimed writer Dan Slott to DC Comics, following his long tenure with Marvel where he contributed significantly to titles like The Amazing Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Fantastic Four. Slott, who previously worked on DC titles such as Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and Batman Adventures, is now bringing his talents back to the DC universe with this exciting new project.

Slott expressed his enthusiasm for the project, 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."

In Superman Unlimited, the Man of Steel faces a perilous new reality. A Kryptonite asteroid has showered the planet with Green K, empowering villains like Intergang with weapons fueled by Superman's greatest weakness. This new status quo forces Superman to innovate with new technology and crime-fighting strategies to navigate this deadly era. Concurrently, Clark Kent contends with changes at the Daily Planet, which has merged with Morgan Edge's Galaxy Communications to become a global multimedia conglomerate.

Kaminski also drew comparisons to another DC series, stating, "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."
