Ulysses

A striking Modern Age creation from the powerhouse team of Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr., Ulysses made his debut in the pages of Superman #34 in 2014, arriving at a moment when DC was reinventing its flagship hero for a new generation. His story unfolds alongside some of the most iconic names in comics — Superman, Batman, and their civilian counterparts Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne — placing him squarely in the heart of DC's premier universe from the very start. With appearances across Superman, Batman/Superman, and Detective Comics, he moves through the biggest stages the publisher has to offer. Though his time in the spotlight was brief, a debut crafted by two legends of the craft and shared with comics' greatest icons makes Ulysses a genuinely compelling piece of Modern Age DC history worth seeking out.
