About the series
In 2021, DC’s Future State: Superman: Worlds of War offered a two-issue glimpse into a possible tomorrow, with Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Mikel Janín steering the Man of Steel into a grim, battle-hardened era. This miniseries reimagined Superman as the keeper of an alien gladiator planet, where he forges uneasy alliances—even crossing paths with Wonder Woman—to protect a world that has no place for hope. It’s a compact, high-stakes story from the Future State initiative, showcasing Johnson’s knack for epic sci-fi and Janín’s polished, emotive art. For fans, it’s a striking what-if that tests Superman’s core ideals against a brutal new frontier.
