The next phase of the DCU’s All-In, the second act, and the future of DC Comics begins…
With bold creative teams, shocking new arcs, and milestone issues, DC’s flagship comic book titles prove that the second act of DC All In is not just about new launches, it’s about raising the stakes in the books fans already love.
The “Reign of the Superboys” saga begins this week with Action Comics #1096 by Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge, where young Superboy Clark Kent from the past collides with today’s Justice League Unlimited. meawhile here in Supergirl, Sophie Campbell thrusts Kara into the bottled city of Kandor, where she loses her powers and gains a cybernetic upgrade to lead a revolution alongside Conner Kent (Superboy) and a legion of Boy Thunder clones.
Together, these opening chapters ignite a sweeping storyline that spans the Superman family and propels DC’s new Superboy saga forward across March and beyond.
