Are you ready for the Summer of Superman? We sure are! This summer, in anticipation for the release of James Gunn's Superman film, DC is launching a publishing initiative highlighting the Man of Steel and his compatriots. Part of the 'Summer of Superman' event will be a brand-new series called Superman Unlimited written by Dan Slott. To kick off this event, Slott will be joined by writers Mark Waid and Joshua Williamson for the Summer of Superman Special #1 out April 16. 

Luckily for us, at WonderCon 2025, Mark Waid and Dan Slott will join forces to talk all things Superman at DC's 'Superman with Mark Waid and Dan Slott' panel. This is all taking place on Saturday, March 29 from 1:45-2:45 PST. Once the panel is underway, we'll be liveblogging it right here for you to follow along, if you're not able to attend WonderCon 2025. We know that Mark Waid's love for Superman runs on an atomic level, so we can't wait to see what this beloved scribe has to say about the Man of Steel. 

To follow along with our liveblog, bookmark this page and return to it on Saturday, March 29 at 1:45 PST. This is where our liveblog will begin (and end).
