The Summer of Superman might be drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean interest in the Man of Tomorrow is waning. Overnight DC has announced that it is going back to bring on the first issue of Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum as copies continue to fly off the shelves.
Described by The Beat as “a timeless, innovative, and heartfelt story that is equal parts sci-fi adventure and personal examination,” the new printing will arrive in comic book stores on October 8, 2025.
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum is by writer W. Maxwell Prince and artist Martín Morazzo, with colors by Chris O’Halloran. Prince, Morazzo and O’Halloran lend their signature blend of existential superhero fantasy/horror to the world of Superman in this new comic book series that brings the Man of Tomorrow into contact with every flavor of Kryptonite under the yellow sun. In the limited DC Black Label comic book series, four new Kryptonites have been discovered in deep space, and Superman needs to know just what, exactly, they do to him—lest the colorful rocks of his home planet fall into evil hands! With Batman at his side, this five-issue event explores the consequences of each never-before-seen variety of Kryptonite—all in the formal, and boundary-pushing fashion, that Prince, Morazzo, and O’Halloran are celebrated for.
