Multi-Eisner Award-winning writer Grant Morrison (Wonder Woman: Earth One, The Green Lantern) and fan-favorite artist Mikel Janín (Batman, Future State: Superman: Worlds of War) are the new creative team on Superman and the Authority, a new four-issue limited series.
Superman and the Authority picks up the story threads of DC Future State as the Man of Steel recruits Manchester Black, original Authority members Midnighter and Apollo, Enchantress, Natasha Irons, and new versions of Lightray and O.M.A.C. to free the prisoners of Warworld. However, they will have to contend with Ultra-Humanite and a new team of supervillains he's formed to take them on. The limited series is teased to impact the Superman status quo, along with setting up new stories that will impact Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El.

- If Superman is to free the prisoners of Warworld, he’s going to need help, the kind of help that doesn’t scream “Justice League.” Fortunately, multi-Eisner Award-winning writer Grant Morrison (Wonder Woman: Earth One, The Green Lantern) and fan-favorite artist Mikel Janín (Batman, Future State: Superman: Worlds of War) have the solution in the form of a new four-issue limited series, Superman and The Authority.
- Launching July 20, this new team will be led by Manchester Black, and combine original members Midnighter and Apollo with new members Enchantress and Natasha Irons, as well as new versions of Lightray and O.M.A.C. This new team will have to learn to work together, and fast, as the Ultra-Humanite has formed his own team of villains to take out the Man of Steel.
- This new limited series will help launch an all-new status quo for Superman, setting up story elements that will impact both Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El in the months to come.
Superman and the Authority goes on sale July 20 from DC.
