DC ALL IN ACT II: DC’s Flagship Titles Ascend After DC K.O.

Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and more launch bold new arcs this March as DC’s ongoing, mainline comic book series all evolve alongside DC’s Next Level launches and the Absolute universe.

“From the launch of the DC ALL IN SPECIAL, to the introduction of an Absolute Universe, and into the DC K.O. event that we’re right in the middle of now, we’re determined to build on all of the fan enthusiasm, and the retail support and story momentum, by continuing to take big swings in 2026,” said Scott Snyder in the DC: Next Level announcement.

That momentum continues this March as DC All In begins its second act. With DC K.O. concluding on March 4, DC’s flagship titles enter bold new storylines that redefine the heroes that comic book fans know best. Together with the launch of DC: Next Level #1s and the ongoing Absolute line of comics, these ongoing series form the backbone of the DC Universe’s next All In chapter.

Reign of the Superboys

In March, DC K.O. leaves the DC Universe in need of a new SUPERMAN, kicking off a “Reign of the Superboys” saga across DC’s four ongoing Superman-related titles! The adventure begins on March 11 with Action Comics #1096 by Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge, where young Superboy Clark Kent from the past collides with today’s Justice League Unlimited. This clash across time bridges Superman’s earliest days with the present, while Martian Manhunter, Mary Marvel, and more, search for the missing Man of Tomorrow in the past. Also on March 11, Supergirl #11 by Sophie Campbell thrusts Kara into the bottled city of Kandor, where she loses her powers and gains a cybernetic upgrade to lead a revolution alongside Conner Kent (Superboy) and a legion of Boy Thunder clones. What do these clones mean for the future of the House of El? Only time will tell! Together, these opening chapters ignite a sweeping storyline that spans the Superman family and propels DC’s new Superboy saga forward across March and beyond.

The following week, on March 18, Superman Unlimited #11 from Dan Slott and Lucas Meyer expands the arc with Jon Kent facing a terrifying time‑bending foe and the debut of Tomorrow Man, a brand‑new character whose arrival shakes the timeline itself. Finally, the opening month of DC’s new Superboy saga culminates on March 25 with Superman #36 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora, as Superboy Prime steps into the spotlight of the ongoing series. Normally reserved for massive crossover events, Prime now claims the mantle of Superman in a bold, action‑packed story that redefines the legacy of Metropolis. With each series spotlighting fan-favorite characters, “Reign of the Superboys” invites fans to follow the saga across all four titles, or dive into the one that spotlights their favorite hero, as the Superman family enters the second act of DC All In.

With bold creative teams, shocking new arcs, and milestone issues, DC’s flagship comic book titles prove that the second act of DC All In is not just about new launches, it’s about raising the stakes in the books fans already love. This March, the DC Universe expands across three core pillars: DC: Next Level with new #1s like Batwoman, Lobo, and Deathstroke: The Terminator; the Absolute line of comics, a universe of its own running alongside DC’s flagship titles; and the flagship titles of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Detective Comics, Action Comics, and more, evolving into their boldest chapters yet. Together, they form the totality of the second act of DC ALL IN… and the future of DC Comics.
