Welcome to February! Sadly, this will be a quiet month for the Superfamily fandom. On the bright side, though, this month does mark the launching of the newest Superman solo series from Joshua Williamson and Jamal Campbell. Let's dive right in...
~ February 8th
Batman #132
(The backup story "Toy Box, Part Two" features Jon Kent teaming up with Tim Drake)
Solicit: And in the backup story, Tim Drake's hunt for Batman continues. Will Metropolis's newest Superman, Jon Kent, be able to help the Boy Wonder with this Multiversal mystery, or will they both run afoul of an overpowered Toyman?!
~ February 22nd
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #12
Official solicit: The secret behind the Supergirl-Robin feud, revealed! On a day not too long ago, a meeting between the Boy Wonder and the Girl of Steel began sweetly, became awkward, and ended so catastrophically, horrifically, jaw-droppingly, car-crashingly disastrously that, among the Superman and Batman families, it is now enshrined as the world’s finest example of How Not to Team Up!
Superman #1
(Part of Dawn of DC)
Official solicit: Superman has returned to Metropolis and his greatest enemy Lex Luthor is finally behind bars. The future of the Superman family has never been brighter! As Clark Kent settles back into his life, iconic and new enemies erupt from the shadows to strike down the Man of Steel! But waiting in the wings to back up Big Blue is…Supercorp?! What secret project has Lex given to Superman?!
Superman: Space Age #3
(Part 3 of 3)
Official solicit: The end is nigh! As red skies reign, Superman does what he can to make the world a better place for as long as it continues to exist. But money is power in the greed-driven ’80s, and villains like Lex Luthor seem poised to win in the end. Little do they know, there are bigger things to worry about and the hero they’ve grown to hate is their only hope against this crisis!
Nightwing #101
(Main story guest stars Clark and the backup guest stars Jon.)
Official solicit: After the events of Dark Crisis, Superman has a talk with Nightwing, letting him know that now is Dick’s time to lead…so Nightwing gathers a group of friends to be the premier league in the DC Universe and moves their base of operations to Blüdhaven. Meet the new Titans! Then, following the events of the Nightwing 2022 Annual and the Superman and Nightwing crossover, Nightwing continues to mentor Jon Kent in ways that Dick learned from being trained by Batman…but in his own more encouraging way.
~ Covers to collect
While there aren't many comics to read for Superfamily content this month, there are a few worthwhile covers to check out instead.
DC's Harley Quinn Romances #1 -- Cvr B features a beautiful cover of Lois and Clark in the style of the old romance novels.
DC Power: A Celebration #1 -- While sadly none of the Superfamily members appear in this issue (which is bizarre considering John Henry and Natasha Irons are iconic members of the DC community), they did feature Calvin Ellis on the cover.
Titans United: Bloodpact #6 -- Cvr B features some cool art of Superboy and Beast Boy
Lazarus Planet: Omega #1 -- Cvr K has some awesome Power Girl art
