Washington D.C. to Witness an Onslaught of Superman This Summer
The world of Superman is gearing up for an action-packed summer as DC Comics unveils its "Summer of Superman" initiative. This exciting event will see the release of new series, variants, and storylines across various Superman-related titles.
Starting in May, June, and July, fans can look forward to new series for Krypto and Supergirl. Ryan North and Mike Norton are working on the new Krypto series, while Sophie Campbell is at the helm for Supergirl's new adventure.
In the main Superman comics, a three-part arc featuring the Darkseid Legion is on the horizon. This evil counterpart of the Legion of Super-Heroes was teased at the end of DC All-In last year, promising an intriguing storyline for Superman fans.
The main Superman comics this summer will undergo eventful changes, with the ongoing series, Superman: Son of Kal-El (2021–2023), continuing to feature Jon Kent as Superman. The Superman (vol. 5) and Supergirl comics will also have several releases, with various storylines progressing throughout 2023.
The "Summer of Superman" initiative also includes new cardstock variants themed around the live-action version of Superman in James Gunn's movie. Notable artists contributing to these variants include Nicola Scott, Jorge Jiménez, Jim Lee, and others.
For those interested in the precise list of releases for this summer, it's recommended to consult archived DC Comics solicitations or retailer previews from around early 2023. Current databases primarily focus on 2025 releases, so direct access to releases or solicitations from the specific timeframe is necessary for the most accurate listings.
On a separate note, Friday, April 18, is recognised as Superman Day, marking the date of Action Comics' first issue on April 18, 1938. Moreover, the changes in these Superman comics are leading towards the next big DCU event.
Artist Kevin Maguire has a variant for Batman/Superman: World's Finest #41, set to arrive soon. However, there are no new facts about Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe on film and TV, or Doctor Who mentioned in this context.
