The reclamation of Superboy-Prime continues…
I’m not a regular reader of the Superbooks but here’s what I understand is going on: Superman is out of the picture right now because of something to do with DC K.O., so all the various Superboys — and Supergirl — are filling in for the missing Man of Steel. It’s a tie-in event that’s called Reign of the Superboys.
Anyway, I’m sitting it out because I can’t read everything, but DC’s latest solicitations piqued my curiosity with Superman #39, out June 24. See, Superboy-Prime is back and apparently he’s good again, and it looks like DC is having a little fun with him.
Check out the official solicitation:
Main cover by Dan Mora
SUPERMAN #39
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
Art and cover by DAN MORA
Variant covers by SANFORD GREENE, ARIEL DIAZ, CHRIS BURNHAM, and AARON BARTLING
Supergirl movie variant cover by STANLEY “ARTGERM” LAU
Superboy-Prime loves comics. He’s a Wednesday Warrior and has read a lot of continuity. But a classic Superman villain has banished Prime into different issues he hasn’t read! Get ready for a wild ride across the DC Universe as Prime is dragged kicking and screaming across past events, lost reboots, relaunches, and restarts! If he doesn’t find his way back to Metropolis, he will be lost forever!
$4.99 US | 32 pages | Variant $5.99 US (card stock)
ON SALE 6/24/26
