DC Announces Superman Solicitations for September, 2026

Posted on June 18, 2026 by Neil Cole

DC Comics has unveiled its full slate of Superman-related solicitations for September, 2026 featuring an expansive lineup of titles, including All In Absolute Superman #23, Action Comics #1102, Adventures of Superman: Book of El #12, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #55, Bizarro: Year None #3, Justice League Unlimited #23, Supergirl #17, Supergirl: Survive #4, Superman #42, Superman Unlimited #17, and Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1.
