Fans of My Adventures with Superman better get ready, because one of the most lovable Men of Steel is finally coming to the comic book realm. DC Comics has revealed details on an upcoming tie-in comic series that will expand on the animated series’ world and prepare fans for the show’s next season.
Looking to the summer, DC Comics has revealed details on My Adventures with Superman #1, a new comic book title written by My Adventure with Superman series producer Josie Campbell and drawn by artist Pablo M. Collar. The story picks up from season 1’s finale and serves as a bridge to My Adventures with Superman’s anticipated next season.
Set during Christmastime, Clark Kent is spending the holiday alone in Metropolis. But a creature that can absorb anything it touches begins stalking the city’s sewers forcing Superman to investigate the odd event with his pals Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane.
My Adventures with Superman Returns in Comic Book Form
My Adventures with Superman is an animated series that premiered in 2023 and aired on Adult Swim. The show is a comedic, modernized look at Superman in the early stages of his career and also follows his life as an intern working for The Daily Planet with his best friends Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. The series became a fan-favorite among viewers for its lighthearted, comedic moments, and its positive portrayal of Superman as he slowly becomes the hero that fans know and love. A second season was ordered alongside the first, but there’s been no news on its expected release date.
The My Adventures with Superman comic isn’t the first time DC Comics has published a title that ties into an adaptation. Young Justice’s Greg Weisman helped pen a tie-in ongoing title that was canon to the animated series. DC Comics also published Earth-Prime, a miniseries that told new stories set in the continuity of CW’s Arrowverse. While fans wait patiently to discover what’s next for Clark and his friends, this series will go a long way to helping viewers survive the dry spell by giving them new content directly from My Adventure with Superman’s producer.
New My Adventures with Superman is Exactly What Viewers Need Right Now
While not every tie-in comic adheres strictly to an adaptation’s continuity, that doesn’t seem to be the case with My Adventures with Superman. This comic is coming from someone who helped develop the show and is firmly set in between seasons to give fans everything they need to know before the next season starts. Who knows what adventures Superman and his pals will get up to or how it will impact the next season? But fans are no doubt going to get a kick of a new title that adds more to the world of My Adventures with Superman.
My Adventures with Superman #1 is available on June 4th from DC Comics.
