DC has announced a new five-issue DC Black Label series, Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum, by W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran. It comes to comic shops on August 13, 2025.
W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran are the team behind the award nominated series Ice Cream Man from Image Comics. The series brings the Man of Tomorrow into contact with every flavor of Kryptonite under the yellow sun. The creative team will launch an all-new limited series that reimagines Superman through a daring, genre-defying lens.
Across the five issues, Superman must look inward to find strength in his most famous weakness. Each issue explores different facets of Superman’s character, mythos, and moral core, while bending narrative form in ways only Prince, Morazzo and O’Halloran can. While Ice Cream Man became a cult favorite for its surreal, often harrowing dive into horror and existential dread, this new Superman title marks a departure—eschewing horror in favor of introspective, fun, genre-fluid storytelling.
In the upcoming 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 DC Black Label Superman five-issue event explores the consequences of each never-before-seen variety of Kryptonite—all in the formal, and boundary-pushing fashion the creative team are celebrated for.
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 is lettered by Good Old Neon and features variant covers by Tula Lotay and Juan Ferreyra, a foil variant cover by Wes Craig, and a 1:25 variant cover by Alex Eckman-Lawn, arrives wherever comic books are sold on August 13, 2025. All covers will retail for $5.99 US.
