2025 was a fantastic year to be a Superman fan, arguably the best in a long time. The Superman movie was a box office hit and offered a fresh, inspiring take on the iconic hero. However, the comics were even more impressive. A wave of new Superman titles launched under the “Summer of Superman” banner, including Supergirl (2025), Superman Unlimited, and Krypto: Last Dog of Superboy. This, on top of already excellent runs like Joshua Williamson’s Superman (2023), Mark Waid’s Action Comics (2016), and the Superman-centered DC K.O., makes it particularly difficult to accept that DC is planning a farewell to the character who began it all.
