“To kick off DC’s Superman Unlimited series in May, a massive extinction-level Kryptonite asteroid showers Superman’s greatest weakness down upon the earth, creating an arms race for the new most valuable resource on the planet: Green K,” DC Comics’ description of Superman Unlimited #1 reads. “The greater availability of Kryptonite in the DC Universe changes the balance of power in the criminal empires of Metropolis and across the globe: Intergang, under new leadership, is on the rise, with practically all their foot soldiers carrying at least one clip of Kryptonite bullets on them. The asteroid left massive Kryptonite deposits to be mined, and it houses unlimited horrors yet to be unpacked. To survive, Superman will need to forge new alliances, new tech and new tactics if he hopes to carry on his quest for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow!
“Superman Unlimited won’t just provide Superman’s nemeses with near-unlimited Kryptonite: the Daily Planet gets an upgrade. A merger with a new incarnation of Morgan Edge’s Galaxy Communications expands the Daily Planet brand into a multimedia news platform with a cable news channel, website, strong social media presence, and —yes— Lois Lane is still editor-in-chief. Daily Planet regulars Jimmy Olsen, Ron Troupe, Cat Grant, and Steve Lombard will staff satellite branches across the DC universe, creating a global network. Behind it all is the tech-savvy of a new IT specialist from Gorilla City, King Solovar’s goddaughter, Tee-Nah.”
Superman Unlimited #1 will be published on May 21, 2025. A ten-page prelude by Slott and Albuquerque will be included in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1, publishing on May 3, 2025, as part of DC’s Free Comic Book Day programming.
Gunn’s DCU Superman movie, meanwhile, releases on July 11, 2025.
