I am pretty impressed with the DC Finest digests they are rolling out including Crisis on Infinite Earths on the 40th anniversary. But I have a lot of optimism with what DC is putting out these days. So let's jump right into the books.
SUPERGIRL #5
Written by SOPHIE CAMPBELL
Art by ROSI KÄMPE and PAULINA GANUCHEAU
Cover by SOPHIE CAMPBELL
Variant covers by STANLEY “ARTGERM” LAU and CHRISSIE ZULLO
1:25 variant cover by ADRIANA MELO
Pumpkin Spicy variant cover by CHUMA HILL
When Kara is called away to solve some super-problems in Metropolis, Lena Luthor and the Super-Pets are left to defend Midvale. Can Streaky and Krypto finally put aside their differences for the greater good? Or will they end up fighting like cats and dogs? You won’t want to miss this fun-filled flipbook adventure featuring the newest additions to the Super-Pet family, Titano and Kandy!
Seems like this might be a rest issue after the first 4 issue 'Lesla Lar' arc. It feels a little early for that but it follows the Mark Waid World's Finest format. Plus this one sounds fun. I like Titano in the cape.
If this is the format, arc followed by done-in-one fun, I don't mind Campbell taking that month off from art. But I hope she can continue to be the artist on the 'main' stories.
The 'Spicy Pumpkin' cover has Kara in a green/orange S-Shield sweater, probably to represent fall colors but it reminds me of the re-colored magic Supergirl in reprints of Superman #123.

And I am ready to get the full Darkseid Legion story in hopes it nudges us closer to the 'real' Legion.
ACTION COMICS #1090
Written by MARK WAID
Art by SKYLAR PATRIDGE
Cover by RYAN SOOK
Variant covers by GERALD PAREL and RICARDO LÓPEZ ORTIZ
1:25 variant cover by SKYLAR PATRIDGE
A long-forgotten hero from the past returns—but this is no team-up! As Superboy fights for his life against the original Man of Tomorrow, he discovers the real reason superheroes have been gone for so long. Can Clark convince his enemy that he comes in peace?
The Man of Tomorrow has to be Captain Comet ... and not 'Iron' Munro as I hoped beyond hope.
ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: BOOK OF EL #1
Written by PHILLIP KENNEDY JOHNSON
Art and cover by SCOTT GODLEWSKI
Variant covers by DAN MORA, RICCARDO FEDERICI, and RAHZZAH
1:25 variant cover by TK
1:50 variant cover by MARGUERITE SAUVAGE
Superman returns! Fan-favorite Future State: Superman: House of El creators Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Scott Godlewski reunite for Adventures of Superman: Book of El! As the Super-Family settles into a well-earned time of peace, a powerful ally-turned-enemy invades Earth with an army at his back and a god-aspect of Olgrun, mad god of the First World. When even the Super-Family lacks the power to stop him, Superman is sent against his will to a place even he’s never been…where he’ll find allies he could never have expected. Concluding the events of “Future State” and Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s Action Comics, the next epic adventure begins here!
Well I have been waiting for this one to finally drop so I was thrilled to read this solicit.

I suppose Waid is doing a story to explain the lack of heroes between WWII and Superboy starting his heroics.
And a hero fight is a classic trope. Why not lean in!
SUPERMAN: UNLIMITED #5
Written by DAN SLOTT
Art and cover by RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE
Variant covers by DAN MORA, MARK SPEARS, and MATTEO LOLLI
1:25 variant cover by DECLAN SHALVEY
When the Kryptonite Kingdom faces a deadly terrorist attack from the Kobra Kult… this looks like a job for any hero other than Superman. The nation-state of El Caldero has the highest concentration of Kryptonite on the planet. It is literally the last place on Earth Superman should go, but when its people cry out for help, of course the Man of Steel will answer the call. Because he’s Superman. Part one of the first multipart adventure in Superman Unlimited.
It is funny to think that a country hoarding Green K wouldn't be attacked from all sides by super-villains. I hope Slott is able to give the Kobra Kult some respectability. They have never quite made it for me.

And as for Superman heading in, wouldn't his friends say 'stand down'? Send in Primal Force!
ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #11
Written by JASON AARON
Art and cover by RAFA SANDOVAL
Variant covers by JAE LEE and JEFF SPOKES
1:25 variant cover by TKTK
1:50 variant cover by KARL KERSCHL
For five years, he’s been on the run, hounded across our planet, and treated like a criminal…yet his only crime was being born somewhere else. Now Superman’s rage threatens to engulf the world at the urging of Ra’s al Ghul. And the only ones who can save the day…are Kal-El’s dead parents.
I was really hoping that we weren't going to see a Superman gone bad in this book. But I guess it was inevitable.

I suppose a vision of Jor-El and Lara, perhaps some recorded message coded into Sol will bring him to his senses.
But is Ra's just this world's Ra's? Or someone else? At least he isn't a Jor-El gone mad!
BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD’S FINEST #43
Written by MARK WAID
Art by ADRIÁN GUTIÉRREZ
Cover by DAN MORA
Variant covers by DUSTIN NGUYEN and ADRIÁN GUTIÉRREZ
1:25 variant cover by JAMES HARREN
As Bizarro World continues to change and morph, Superman and Batman find themselves at war with one another! With the universe at stake, they have to decide on the question: Are Bizarros beings with no life of their own, or are they worthy of salvation? The answer will surprise you.
Hmmm... now this is intriguing.

Hmmm... now this is intriguing.
My guess is this Bizarro threat is big enough that someone is thinking of an ultimate solution.
Does this mean that someone is saying that as 'duplicate' beings that Bizarros aren't truly alive and therefore can be killed without it morally wrong? I hope it isn't Batman who is saying that!

No doubt who the invader is. It has to be Kryl-Ux who decided to get his revenge on all those who harmed the Phaelosians. I really hope we get some others from the Warworld saga too. Will we see Thao-La again? Will we flash forward to the House of El?
Thrilled! PKJ back on a Superman book!
KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON #4
Written by RYAN NORTH
Art by MIKE NORTON
Cover by JAE LEE
Variant cover by KARL KERSCHL
Krypto has made a new friend—another stray—and together, the two of them are traveling across America. But they are not alone, for a monster from a distant world has come to Earth, and their two paths are now on a collision course. Krypto, with superpowers that are just coming in, must find a way to defend himself, his friend—and his planet.
I was charmed by the first issue even if the ending with Lex felt a little forced.

Is Ryan North going to make many more things connected? Is the 'monster from another world' someone we will recognize?
NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #4

Cover by CHRIS SAMNEE
Variant covers by DAN MORA and JENNY FRISON
1:25 variant cover by JAMAL CAMPBELL
Foil variant cover by RYAN SOOK
Legacy variant cover by SCOTT KOBLISH
Barry Allen’s documentation of the history of the DC Universe reaches the present day, beginning with the world-changing events of Flashpoint. Heroes face new threats like Perpetua and the Batman Who Laughs, and the next generation of heroes, like Jon Kent, Wallace West, and Jackson Hyde, begin to emerge from the ashes of crisis-level destruction. All leads to Darkseid’s death and a glimpse at what’s to come in the future. You won’t want to miss this final installment!
It is interesting to think that the things we are talking about are all 'recent history' to me. But Jackson Hyde and Dreamer and Jessica Cruz are now 'history'. Amazing!

And we really going to have Perpetua replace the 'hand Krona saw'? I don't think I will every be sold on that.
SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM #2
Written by W. MAXWELL PRINCE
Art and cover by MARTÍN MORAZZO
Variant covers by JUAN FERREYRA and ALEX ECKMAN-LAWN
This colorful cruise through a cornucopia of curious new Kryptonites continues!
After last issue’s timey-wimey race against (or was it toward?) the clock, Superman (with Batman’s help!) is left to deal with the sizable effects of cobalt Kryptonite.
Watch in awe as the Man of Steel grows, grows…and grows some more, bringing us the Kal-El kaiju comic of our collective dreams! What’s happened to the fortress?
Why is Supes-zilla so angry? And what on earth is Chemo doing here?
Find out in this guest-filled romp from the creative team behind Ice Cream Man—in a story only they could possibly tell. Featuring Wonder Woman, John Stewart, Atom Smasher, and the introduction of Linda, Queen of Spreadsheets and Pivot Tables.
I still don't know if I'll buying this. But I read Superman #302 as a kid so this sounds fun.

And I also can't help but believe that this cover is a sort of back door homage to All-Star Superman #10. From the colors to the Quitely fabric folds, it is too close not to be purposeful.

No mention of Supergirl at all.
But this series and concept is too fun not to plug.
Plus a Godzilla/Superman rematch! Woo hoo!
Looks like a good month!
