DC Announces Bizarro: Year None
DC Launches a New Four-Issue Limited Series from Kevin Smith, Eric Carrasco, and Nick Pitarra, Starring the Iconic Backwards Opposite of Superman
In truly terrible news for fans everywhere—which is to say, incredible—DC today announced Bizarro: Year None, a four-issue limited comic book series exploring the origin of Bizarro, Superman's legendary backwards doppelgänger. From writers Kevin Smith (Green Arrow) and Eric Carrasco (Supergirl), with art and main cover by Nick Pitarra (The Manhattan Projects), Bizarro: Year None delivers the "definitive, indefinitive" origin of DC's beloved backward bad boy. "Me am NOT excited for new comic!" said Bizarro. "Bizarro: Year None am worst thing to happen!" The series follows Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent's boss Perry White as they depart the Daily Planet for a strange adventure in outer space. Their journey leads them to a dimension that mirrors Metropolis in uncanny ways and reveres its legendary newspaper as an article of faith. As they unravel the mystery of this bizarre world, they confront the being behind it all. Is he a misguided Superman fan, an agent of pure chaos, or is he no one at all? Smith and Carrasco bring a blend of humor, heart, and high-concept storytelling to a character whose contradictions have made him a fan-favorite for decades. Pitarra's bold, hyper-detailed artwork grounds the series' surreal tone, giving readers a version of Bizarro's world that feels both familiar and unsettling. Bizarro: Year None #1 goes on sale April 1, 2026, and the series publishes monthly through July, available at participating comic book shops and digital retailers. The debut issue arrives as a 32-page comic priced at $4.99 US, with variant covers by Frank Quitely, Fernando Pasarin, and Ibrahim Moustafa, plus a foil variant by Pitarra. Variant covers will be available for $5.99 US (card stock) and $7.99 US (foil). Don't be a square: this is the worst comic you'll ever love. Kevin Smith, Eric Carrasco, and Nick Pitarra tell the indefinitive origin of Superman's bestest enemy ever!
