DC Comics

Each Friday, we'll be letting a different DC.com writer share what they'll be reading over the weekend and why you might want to check it out. Here's this week's suggestion for a perfect Weekend Escape! Okay, so here’s the plan. We’ve got 48 hours to fill with a comic book that gives us a clean getaway from your work week. We’ve got the perfect crew. A spotless plot. And art? This art you could hang on a chapel ceiling.

Welcome to the Couch Club, our recurring column devoted to all things #DCTV! This week, Joshua Lapin-Bertone confronts the future with the cast of My Adventures with Superman. Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, but he can’t outrun the future. Whether we’re ready or not, it’s always coming. In many ways, My Adventures with Superman has always been about youth.

Superheroes are, more often not, aspirational figures. Designed to reflect the best part of us and to inspire us to do better. But heroes don’t always fit this mold. Some, like young Ruthye in this summer’s Supergirl movie, are traumatized by forces beyond their control and seek a path of vengeance. Not all succeed in their attempt, but it’s always a little jarring to watch avatars of righteousness demand an eye for an eye.

Few DC writers have wreaked as much havoc across the DC multiverse as Tom Taylor…and he’s just getting started. The co-creator of imaginative out-of-continuity megahits like Injustice: Gods Among Us and DCeased is back this summer with the second volume of his high fantasy DC reimagining, Dark Knights of Steel II. But as if that’s not massive enough, Taylor will follow his return to the realm of swords and sorcery with his first Vertigo title, the undead dino thriller Necretaceous.

It’s a great time for Superman fans, with the Man of Steel soaring into movies, TV, animation and comics. To help us stay on top of it, writer Tim Beedle shares what's grabbed his attention and why in this monthly Super-Family column. It’s been a little over two weeks since Supergirlhit theaters. It’s time to talk about that ending.

Since his debut in June 1938’s Action Comics #1, Superman has accrued more history than many real-life figures. In addition to his comic book career, the Man of Steel has conquered all manner of media, so telling his complete story is no easy task. Fortunately, Insight Editions recruited noted Superman experts Edward Gross and Robert Greenberger to write the mammoth Superman: The Definitive History, the Revised Edition of which is now in bookstores.

As the author and artist of 2024’s Barda,Ngozi Ukazu established herself as one of the most thoughtful, studious and inventive disciples of the great Jack Kirby, interpreting the heart of his Fourth World Saga for a new generation of readers. Now, Ukazu follows up her tale of finding love in a hopeless place with Orion, the story of the forsaken son of Darkseid who’s arguably the protagonist of Kirby’s entire saga.

Each Friday, we'll be letting a different DC.com writer share what they'll be reading over the weekend and why you might want to check it out. Here's this week's suggestion for a perfect Weekend Escape! There’s a Supergirl tale for every comic reader, from the kid-friendly Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade to the Eisner-winning Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the basis for this summer’s film.

For the past 20+ years, explaining who Supergirl is has been as simple as saying “Superman’s cousin.” But that hasn’t always been the case. From before her introduction, Supergirl has suffered from the “Last Kryptonian” problem. Does it make Superman less special if there are other survivors of his doomed planet? The schools of thought have gone back and forth on that, but have ultimately settled in the pro-cousin camp.
