DC Comics’ Reign of the Superboys begins in March 2026 in Action Comics #1096 by Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge, as a young Superboy Clark Kent from the past collides with today’s Justice League Unlimited. And Martian Manhunter, Mary Marvel, and Booster Gold search for a missing Man of Tomorrow in history itself. That same week, Supergirl #11 by Sophie Campbell drops Kara into Kandor, strips her powers, and gives her a cybernetic upgrade as she leads a revolution alongside Conner Kent and a legion of Boy Thunder clones. Then in Superman Unlimited #11 by Dan Slott and Lucas Meyer, Jon Kent confronts a terrifying time-bending enemy and a brand-new character \u2013 Tomorrow Man \u2013 whose arrival destabilises reality. In Superman #36 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora, as Superboy Prime steps into the ongoing series and claims the mantle of Superman in a move usually reserved for full-blown crossover events. And all tying in together as the Reign of the Superboys\u2026 even as one of the Superboys is also leading the New Titans by Tate Brombal and Taurin Clarke\u2026<\/p>\n
