It’s essentially a guarantee that iconic comic book characters will be reinvented at some point. Superman is proof of this, having been changed numerous times over the years. Now Superman has been given yet another new look, this time an all-white suit.
Superman can be seen wearing the new costume on the cover of Superman: Lost #2. The new comic book issue has been revealed as part of DC Comics’ solicitations, via CBR, for April 2023. As for the artwork, it was illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz.
Other than the white color, which covers most of the suit and his cape, fans will notice Superman’s iconic logo is gold. It’s certainly a departure from the classic red and blue look. And, of course, other such popular variants like Superman’s all-black costume.
As you can see below:

Of course, this isn’t quite the first time he’s worn an all-white costume. Superman went the all-white route for his appearance in the 2022 DC Mech limited series. Though this costume still had a different design than the one he’s wearing for Superman: Lost #2.
The storyline for the new issue was penned by Christopher Priest and features the following synopsis:
“As Superman struggles to re-enter his life on Earth, we begin the story of his epic 20-year journey home with an encounter with spacefaring scavengers who transport the Man of Steel to an unnamed earthlike planet whose properties redefine the limits of his powers, while the world’s ecological and political turmoil beckons for his help.”
Superman: Lost was initially announced in December 2022. It’s expected to consist of ten issues across its run. Interestingly, it’s only one of several new Superman runs coming this year. Though this particular issue will be arriving for sale on April 11, 2023.
