There are some fun things to look forward to. Ram V is taking another swing at the Fourth World with the DC All-In Saga New Gods special. I love Donna Troy and she is front and center in the JL Arctic Attack special. (Love her snow camoflage suit!). And Fury of Firestorm #10 looks great. I have loved that series. Those stood out amongst a bunch of good looking books.
And the Super-books also look very interesting starting out with Supergirl which has a lot to unpack!
SUPERGIRL #21

Cover by SOPHIE CAMPBELL
Variant covers by MIRKA ANDOLFO, RIAN GONZALES, and DON AGUILLO
Sweater Weather variant cover by TOKI TOKORO
Word’s out that Kara’s superpowers are gone, and she’s about to get mobbed…by a gang of friends who want to help her get them back! Natasha Irons, Bleez, Equinox, and more! It’s overwhelming. It’s possibly calamitous when a portal to the Faerie Realm releases the evil leprechaun L. Finn! And if that’s not enough darkness and mystery for you, Nightflame’s preparing a dark ritual in which a key ingredient is… Kara Zor-El!
I have always loved how much Sophie Campbell is honoring Supergirl's history and mythos in this book. This solicit is like a love letter to Kara's more recent history. Bleez? Remember when Supergirl was a Red Lantern? Equinox? The forgotten teammate when Supergirl was on Justice League United? I love this. This is part of Supergirl's past! Amazing.

But bringing back L. Finn, the leprechaun from Adventure Comics #400 ?? That is a cherry on a continuity sundae! Insanity!
On to the rest!

Sweater weather variant by DAVID TALASKI
If Superman wants to reverse the shocking death of one of his closest friends, he must battle the resurrected Nekron! But you don’t get Black Lanterns without… zombies! It’s up to Marilyn Moonlight and Silver Banshee to hold back the hordes of zombies about to flood into Metropolis.
I am a big fan of the Silver Banshee so can't wait to see here and Marilyn Moonlight team up. Even their looks complement each other. But which of Superman's closest friends died?

Williamson is firing on all cylinders so eager to the title back on track after the Kingdom of Zod side quest.
ACTION COMICS #1106
Written by MARK WAID
Art by PATRICIO DELPECHE Cover by CHRIS BRUNNER
Variant covers by RYAN SOOK and FEDE MELE
Foil variant cover by ALEX ECKMAN-LAWN
Superboy and Lex Luthor have become friends—but the Kents suspect there’s more to Luthor’s motives than simple friendship. And what’s that weird green glow coming from Lex’s school locker?
Sounds like a Smallville episode!
I have been liking Waid's Superboy stint on the book. So I don't mind this, especially if the issues play out like the first one did with each character narrating half the book. I don't mind Lex getting his origin (like Pete Ross did) but I don't want to read a Luthor exclusive book.
SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #21
Written by DAN SLOTT
Art and cover by LUCAS MEYER
Variant covers by ANGELA WU and BELÉN ORTEGA
Superman and Tomorrow Man can see anything from ultraviolet to infrared. They both have microscopic and telescopic vision. And they can see through everything except lead. But can they see what’s about to destroy National City before it’s too late? Also in this issue: a new superpower for Tomorrow Man?! A power that even his father doesn’t have?! Get ready, Super-fans, you’ll have to update Jon Kent’s DC Who’s Who entry after this one!
It is funny how every so often someone tries to add a new power to one of the supers and it just never sticks. Will Superman's gold form last here? I doubt it. Superman's solar flare didn't. Supergirl's solar flare didn't either.

So what new power will Jon show and will that stick. I suppose his being half-Kryptonian means his power set is more mutable. Intrigued to see what Slott has in mind.
ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #27

Cover by RAFA SANDOVAL
Variant covers by HOMARE, MARCIO TAKARA, and REIKO MURAKAMI
Everyone on Krypton died when the planet exploded…everyone but Kal-El, last son of a doomed world. So why does Superman keep hearing Kryptonian voices calling to him at night? Why does he hear frightened whispers from a shadowy, indescribable realm…called the Phantom Zone?
An absolute Phantom Zone ... intriguing.

An absolute Phantom Zone ... intriguing.
You might recall that a huge ship filled with people made it off Krypton so we know that Superman isn't the 'LAST SON' of Krypton. I have been wondering if we would be getting more survivors. But I wasn't expecting a Phantom Zone.
I was really hoping that Rafa Sandoval and Juan Ferreyra would be able to flip-flop the book. Perhaps Mirko Colak's style is better suited for a Zone story?

Someone has been gunrunning Kryptonian weapons on Earth! To shut down the operation and save Superman’s life, the World’s Finest team must travel to the Bottle City of Kandor!
I am dusting off my Superman encyclopedia because I am sure Waid is going to be peppering in Kryptonian terms, characters, and tech that I'll need to remember. Love the cover by Mora.

Kevin Smith Celebrity Cameo variant cover by DAN MORA
The bad boy of DC Comics, Superboy-Prime, wants to find his way home without punching reality. His search takes him into dangerous corners of the comics he loves! But one classic Superman villain wants revenge on Prime for stealing his thunder!
Can the original Wednesday Warrior finally make amends with the heroes he’s hurt? Is Figurehead of F.O.C. ready to punch reality to send himself home?!
I loved ... I mean LOVED ... Williamson's Prime run on Superman during Reign of the Superboys. So I was thrilled to hear that this special was happening. And Mora is on art! Bonus!!!
I can't wait to read this!

Luthor begins making moves to enact his plan for American supremacy and Super- man is still on his back foot after his run-in with the megalomaniac. Can Superman stand his ground and face down Luthor’s master plans?
Now that is a cover! Superman and Lois in an embrace with enough tension you could cut it with a knife.
Luthor being a fascist is well-trod road but seeing him in the 30's a nice wrinkle. I enjoyed the second issue of this book more than the first. Hoping it builds on the momentum.

The Clark Kent, Murderer storyline continues! But now we throw in The Question, another fave of mine! Amazing!

I have shied away from Tom Taylor books recently so this is his chance!
Anyways, great month. That Supergirl book sounds great! And a Prime Special!
