Summary
The Adult Swim seriesMy Adventures with Supermanhas proven to be a welcome antidote to the dark, serious, versions of Superman fans have seen on screen. That wholesome storytelling is also present in the comic series that is closely tied to the show. In DC’s November previews, the final issue of theMy Adventures with Supermantie-in comic shines a light on Amanda Waller’s machinations, providing a new context for the show’s second season.
Written by showrunner Josie Campbell with art by Pablo M. Collar (Sword of Azrael),My Adventures with Supermandoesn’t tell non-canon stories, or adapt the show — it tells an exciting, original story in the same youthful, joyous tone that won fans' hearts. Even better: the six-issue series, which ends this November, is set between the first two seasons of the show.

As he told Supergirl in season 2, “Whenever I need to protect someone I care about, I get stronger.” Fans have seen him develop X-ray vision and an ability to shoot lightning from his eyes so far. Given that this version of Amazo is a sympathetic, sentient armor, Superman may develop even more powers during the fight to protect it from a government that wants to destroy the life they created.

One of the great things aboutMy Adventures with Supermanis that it’s made Superman a very relatable superhero. He’s young, he’s struggling, and he’s learning. He doesn’t quite have “adulting” down yet, despite really needing to be an adult, both as Superman and as Clark Kent. While Batman is usually thought of as the DCU’s detective, Clark, alongside Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, does a lot of investigation in his role as a journalist, making him as important as his super alter ego. While season 3 is in production, fans should catch up onMy Adventures with Supermanthrough this officially canon series.
My Adventures with Superman #6is available November 6th, 2024 from DC Comics.
