It's Superman Day!

Our Mission: helping you read comic books in order!

You may remember celebrating Superman Day on June 12 last year. DC Comics made this date official in 2013, but the Man of Steel always had two major dates on the calendar. For 2025, DC Comics has decided to celebrate the Man of Steel on April 18 (the 1938 publication date for the iconic Action Comics #1).
​
No doubt that 2025 is a big year for Kal-El, as the superhero is ready to flight once again on the big screen. The new Superman movie will be released on July 11, 2025 and DC Comics has planned a ‘Summer of Superman’ Publishing Initiative.
​
We have not finished talking about The Last Son of Krypton for this year, but we are starting now, with a selection of articles to explore the universe of one of the most iconic superheroes!

What would be Superman without Lois Lane today? Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in 1938, she is one of the most iconic characters in comics, which is no small feat for a woman introduced as a counterpart and love interest to Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent.

During the past 80 years, the character has lived through numerous crises and evolved with her time. If she is famously known as one of the greatest reporters in the DC universe, she worked hard to have that title, beginning as a sob sister, having scoops stolen by Clark Kent, and at some times, confined to the role of the jealous girlfriend.

Lois Lane will rise to the challenge, helped by TV and movie adaptations, to go beyond what was expected of women of her time, to be an inspiring tough, ambitious, fearless woman who never gives up...
