DC is giving fans a brand-new look at one of its strangest icons with Bizarro: Year None, a newly announced four-issue limited series that digs into the origins of Superman’s famously backward counterpart.
Coming from writers Kevin Smith (Green Arrow) and Eric Carrasco (Supergirl), with art and main cover by Nick Pitarra (The Manhattan Projects), the series promises what the creators are calling the “definitive, indefinitive” take on Bizarro’s beginnings—leaning fully into the character’s off-kilter charm and contradictions.
“Me am NOT excited for new comic!” said Bizarro. “Bizarro: Year None am worst thing to happen!”
The story follows Jimmy Olsen and Perry White as they leave the familiar halls of the Daily Planet behind for a strange journey into outer space. Their adventure takes them to a bizarre dimension that looks uncannily like Metropolis—right down to its reverence for a legendary newspaper treated almost like sacred scripture. As Jimmy and Perry dig deeper, they begin to uncover the truth behind this warped world and the mysterious figure at its center. Is he simply a misguided fan of Superman? A force of pure chaos? Or something else entirely?
Smith and Carrasco aim to balance comedy, emotion, and big sci-fi ideas in a story that embraces everything fans love about Bizarro’s upside-down logic. Meanwhile, Pitarra’s bold, highly detailed art brings a grounded intensity to the surreal setting, creating a version of Bizarro’s world that feels at once familiar—and deeply unsettling.
With Bizarro: Year None, DC is turning the funhouse mirror back on Superman’s strangest double, delivering a fresh origin tale that’s equal parts ridiculous, heartfelt, and gloriously weird.
