New Superman comics this week (11 November 2026)

It’s a quieter week for the Super-family, but a good one: three new issues and a chunky collection reached comic shops on Wednesday 11 November 2026. Here’s what’s on the shelf. Dates are US on-sale dates, and UK shops usually have the same books the same week.

Out this week

• Action Comics #1104, written by Mark Waid with art by Patricio Delpeche. “Lex Luthor: Year One” carries on in Smallville, where a young Clark Kent makes friends with Lex. The question hanging over it all is whether one good friend can change where Lex is heading.
• Supergirl #19, written and drawn by Sophie Campbell, with colours by Tamra Bonvillain. Gold kryptonite has taken Kara’s powers, so she starts working out who she is without them, while her Super Force team-mates wonder who should be Supergirl now.
• Superman #199 Facsimile Edition, by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan. A reprint of the famous charity race between Superman and the Flash, with crime cartels trying to fix the result. It’s one of Superman’s greatest feats, and still a lot of fun.

Also in shops

DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel is a paperback collection of the 1980s relaunch, with the six-issue Man of Steel series and the early issues of Superman, Action Comics and Adventures of Superman that followed. It’s a handy way in if you fancy Superman from a fresh start.

Why it matters

Lex is having quite a year. The comics are telling his origin just as Nicholas Hoult’s Luthor gets ready to share the screen with Superman in Man of Tomorrow, so Action Comics is the one to pick up if you only buy a single issue.

Next Wednesday brings Superman Unlimited #19. The release calendar has the rest of the month, and our Superman comics reading order shows where to start.
