DC Comics is launching a "Summer of Superman" promotional event starting in June 2024. This initiative is designed to celebrate the iconic superhero and build anticipation for the upcoming  movie directed by James Gunn.

Key elements of the event include:

  1. New Comic Releases: Several Superman-related titles will launch or continue, including Superman #15, Action Comics #1066, Power Girl #10, and the Superman: House of Brainiac Special #1.
  2. Variant Covers: Special Superman-themed variant covers will appear across various DC comic titles throughout June, July, and August.
  3. Movie Tie-in Covers: A major highlight is a series of variant covers featuring artwork depicting actor David Corenswet as Superman, based on his look in the upcoming film. Renowned artists like Steve Beach, Jorge Jiménez, Carla Cohen, and Evan "Doc" Shaner are creating these specific covers.

Essentially, the "Summer of Superman" is a cross-promotional celebration leveraging the excitement for the new movie to boost interest in Superman comics, featuring new stories and collectible covers, particularly those showcasing the new cinematic Man of Steel.
