DC’s My Adventures with Superman Transitioning into Comic Form
The widely acclaimed animated series, My Adventures with Superman, which surprised audiences and impressed fans with its romantic comedy take on Superman and Lois Lane, is now making its way into the comic book medium. The show, a collaboration between DC and Adult Swim, garnered significant popularity, prompting the creation of a comic miniseries to continue the story.
Details of the Comic Series
The upcoming comic miniseries, penned by show co-creator Josie Campbell and illustrated by Pablo Moreno Collar, is set to unfold after the events of the first season’s conclusion and leading into the anticipated second season premiere. The storyline follows Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen as they navigate through a holiday investigation in Metropolis involving a peculiar sewer creature with the ability to absorb objects upon contact.
In a recent statement, Campbell revealed that the comic narrative was initially intended for the show’s first season but had to be sidelined due to time constraints. Drawing from her past work on DC titles like The New Shazam and various Wonder Woman issues, Campbell assured fans that the comic would maintain the essence and charm of the animated series. She expressed her excitement at extending Superman’s adventures into the realm of comic books, promising a mix of romance, humor, superhuman abilities, and the signature elements that made the show a hit.
Creative Vision and Enthusiasm
Collar, the talented artist behind the illustrations, also shared his enthusiasm for the project, citing his deep admiration for Superman as a symbol of goodness. Collaborating with Campbell on the comic adaptation, Collar emphasized his passion for bringing this iconic character to life in a new format. The entire creative team is dedicated to delivering their best efforts in capturing the spirit of My Adventures with Superman.
Mark your calendars for the comic’s inaugural issue scheduled for release on June 4. While details on the second season of the animated series are still pending, viewers can revisit the first season’s episodes on Max for the time being. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek projects, the future of the DC Universe in film and television, and insights into the world of Doctor Who on io9.
