DC Comics have announced a “My Adventures with Superman” comic book series, set in-between the first season of the animated show, and its upcoming second season. Written by Josie Campbell, the co-creator and producer of the show, with art by Pablo M. Collar, the comic will take place over the holidays, and see Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen investigate rumors of a monster capable of absorbing anything it touches in the sewers of Metropolis.
“This story is one we actually talked about in the writers’ room,” Campbell says, “but we didn’t have space for it in season one. So get ready for romance, comedy, superpowers, Jimmy Olsen talking a lot about how he’s super-rich now, and all the goodness of the show bundled into this action-packed miniseries.”
Pablo M. Collar, whose credits include various DC titles, says, “I was completely in love with My Adventures with Superman the minute I saw the announcement of the series, and I jumped at the chance to work with Josie on the comic. Superman has always been the reference and the symbol of all that’s good in us, and being part of something like this is a dream come true, and the whole team will give it our best.”
“My Adventures with Superman” #1 will be released on Tuesday, June 4 (becoming one of the last DC titles to release on a Tuesday), with a main cover by the show’s character designer Carli Squitieri, plus variants by Gavin Guidry and Riley Rossmo, and a blank sketch cover. Pre-orders will begin on Friday, March 15. The premiere date for season two of the show, which airs on Adult Swim before being added to Max, has not been announced at the time of writing.
