As we all know from watching Superman this past summer: kindness is the new punk rock. And to celebrate this anarchic bit of optimism, DC Comics is rolling out Punk Rock Variant Covers this January.
While the Mighty Crabjoys might be sitting this particular promotion out, they will be on six different Superman or Superman associated titles right at the top of next year in January: Action Comics, Superman, Superman Unlimited, Supergirl, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, and Justice League Unlimited. And the artists involved are so good, you’re gonna wanna be sedated: Annie Wu, Dave Johnson, Mike Allred, Marguerite Sauvage, Fabrizio De Tommaso, and Dan Hipp.
You can check out the January debuting covers below, as well as some description about them, per PR from DC:
DC’s Punk Rock Variant Cover Lineup:
- Action Comics #1094 – Annie Wu turns up the distortion with a punk-rock Superboy thrashing an electric guitar mid-solo, amps blazing and attitude dialed to eleven.
- Superman #34 – Dave Johnson delivers a bold, black-and-white zine-style cover with the rallying cry “Kindness is the new punk rock” scrawled across Superman.
- Superman Unlimited #9 – Mike Allred goes full anarcho-pop, plastering Superman over a giant anarchy symbol surrounded by safety pins, torn textures, and retro rebellion.
- Supergirl #9 – Marguerite Sauvage paints Kara Zor-El as a punk heroine: fierce, stylish, and ready to break the mold.
- Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #47 – Fabrizio De Tommaso captures the duo looking like they just stepped out of a gig and into a showdown.
- Justice League Unlimited #15 – Dan Hipp transforms Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman into punk rock icons in his signature vibrant style: patched jackets, wild hair, and all the attitude you can handle.
