When the Kryptonite Kingdom faces a deadly terrorist attack from the Kobra Kult…this looks like a job for any hero other than Superman. The nation-state of El Caldero has the highest concentration of Kryptonite on the planet. It is literally the lastplace on Earth Superman should go, but when its people cry out for help, of course the Man of Steel will answer the call. Because he’s Superman. Part one of the first multipart adventure in Superman Unlimited.

    The Comic Book Spot - Jeremy Bonnette Sep 25, 2025

    While Superman: Unlimited #5 is not the best issue of the five so far, it helps to progress the story of Superman's new power and the impact that kryptonite is having on the world. It's a solid entry into what is shaping up to be a terrific ongoing Superman book. Dan Slott's writing on this book continues to be top notch. The art by Rafael Albuquerque and coloring by Marcelo Maiolo is vibrant and full of action. If you haven't been reading this title, it's not so far along that you can't jump in. Any fan of the Man of Steel should have this on their reading list. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Christian Laspada Sep 24, 2025

    Superman Unlimited #5 is a strong launch into its new arc. It reminds you why Superman works: when you make things difficult for him, when danger isnt just big villains but environmental/ethical constraints, he becomes more heroic. Dan Slott shows respect for what makes Superman iconic while also pushing him into challenging territory. Read Full Review
