Superman Unlimited writer Dan Slott went on John Siuntres‘ Word Balloon video podcast this week, talking up everything from Reign of the Superboys to Spider-Man/Superman, Fantastic Four: First Foes and The Spectacular Spider-Man Brand New Day. But it was one detail from his Superman Unlimited story that caught my ear, as Superman Unlimited #11 launches this week from DC Comics, and I don’t mean the return of Beppo the Super Monkey. Here are the upcoming solicits for the series, along with select covers.

So the series sees Jonathan Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, de-aged to his Super Sons Jon Kent era. But what are the Super Sons if they are not plural? Because, in one of the biggest fan-pleasing reveals, Dan Slott shared that there would be a Super Sons reunion. As Jon Kent teams up once more with Damian Wayne, recapturing the much-missed dynamic from past stories, before Jon Kent was aged up. Slott noted this was a key draw for him joining DC, aiming to deliver fun, character-driven moments amid the chaos. He teased “very interesting things happening to Jon Kent” and a “what? No, how is this possible?” twist that brings the pair back together…
Damian Wayne is not mentioned in the solicits. Is he the teased Tomorrow Man? Or is it the time-travelling demon Master TXYZ? Does the Demon transform Damian Wayne? And what does he do to Jon Kent to make him look so demonic? Superman Unlimited #11 is out tomorrow, and I have no idea… but here’s a preview.
