About the series
In 2013, DC Comics launched Superman Unchained, a nine-issue series written by Scott Snyder with principal art by Jim Lee and Dustin Nguyen. The story, set in the modern DC Universe, explores Superman confronting a secret from the dawn of the American space age—a hidden threat that challenges his place in a world of ever-advancing technology and global surveillance. Snyder’s script pairs Lee’s explosive, iconic visuals with Nguyen’s quieter, more introspective scenes, creating a blockbuster epic that examines the Man of Steel’s relevance in a post-9/11 world. It stands as a high-profile, creator-driven take on the character during DC’s New 52 era, blending action with a thoughtful meditation on power and responsibility.
