Popverse's top stories of the day

As part of DC’s Summer of Superman celebrations across the next few months — a publishing slate that ties in with James Gunn’s big-screen reboot of the Man of Steel — the company will be issuing Superman: The World, a hardcover anthology title featuring Superman stories from creators around the world. DC has now offered details of just which creators… and there are some surprising names to be found.

Spain’s Jorge Jiménez, who’s no stranger to Clark Kent and his alter ego — in addition to a run as artist on the main Superman title a few years back, he’s also the artist on April’s Summer of Superman Special #1 — will write and draw ‘Superman in Grenada’ for the anthology, with Justice League Unlimited’s Alejandro Sánchez providing colors; the story will see a temporarily powerless Superman recuperate in the Spanish city after saving the world. It’ll be the second solo writing credit for Jiménez at DC; he’s previously written a Batman: Black and White short, which can be found in 2022’s Batman: Black and White collection. (He’d also helped plot some Justice League issues during Scott Snyder’s run as writer.)

The Riddler: Year One and Batman: Full Moon artist Stevan Subic jumps from Gotham’s Dark Knight to the Man of Tomorrow with ‘My Choice, Protecting the Light,’ the Serbian entry for the anthology, in which Superman has to protect a small town in Serbia which also happens to be the only source of Kryptonite in the world… just as an intergalactic villain has decided he’d like the deadly mineral all for himself.

The American entry for the book comes from the Superman: Lois and Clark creative team of Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks; the two offer up ‘Let Slip the Dogs of War,’ a story that sees Superman have to deal with not only an extraterrestrial threat, but also his own government at its worst.
