The Supergirl character of Nia Nal a.k.a. “Dreamer” has appeared in a DC Pride comic before, but now she is coming to the DC Universe proper with a special upcoming issue of the acclaimed Superman: Son of Kal-El comic book with a particularly special co-writer: Nicole Maines herself!
Maines will be co-writing Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 with series writer Tom Taylor. The issue hits comic book stores on July 12, 2022.
“I’m so excited to work with Nicole Maines to bring Dreamer from the screen to the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El and to the DC Comics Universe,” said Tom Taylor. “I want to thank all the people at DC who have championed Dreamer and who recognize the importance of this powerful trans superhero in this time.”
“Jon Kent and Nia Nal are two characters that have a lot in common, both as superheroes with the weight of the world on their shoulders, and as young people with impossibly big shoes to fill,” Nicole Maines added. “Weaving their stories together for Superman: Son of Kal-El with Tom was a complete pleasure, and there is only a little pun intended when I say that Superman and Dreamer make for a brilliant new Dream-Team.”
Here’s a teaser for the issue:
It’s the dramatic DC Universe debut of Dreamer! When every hero on Earth is threatened by Henry Bendix’s machinations, it’s a race against time for Dreamer to warn Superman before it happens! But will this mysterious new ally’s premonition become a nightmare for Jonathan Kent?
Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 will be available at local comic shops on July 12, 2022.
