Usually when DC announces a new series of themed variant covers (as with last week's Flash 75 announcement), the promotion includes a wide variety of comics in a single month. But DC's newest variant cover theme will focus on one specific series. Geoff Johns and John Romita, Jr.'s Superman series will begin featuring a new variant cover theme starting with this week's Superman #35 and lasting through March's Superman #40. Each of these variant covers will spotlight an iconic team-up between Superman and another DC hero that Johns has written over the course of his DC career.
