DC’s Icons series deal with Random House will reach new heights with Superman: Dawnbreaker by Matt de la Peña, which hits shelves today!

The DC Icons series made quite the splash in YA publishing by enlisting a team of powerhouse authors to tell stories of the company’s most popular heroes. Leigh Bardugo gave us Wonder Woman: Warbringer, followed by Marie Lu‘s Batman: Nightwalker, and then Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas.

Underlined released a stunning new book trailer that’s almost movie-esque, showing off the three previous titles before closing in on Dawnbreaker and it’s storytelling on a scale that only Superman can provide.

Watch the trailer at the top of the post.

Dawnbreaker marks the last book in DC’s original deal with Random House and at this time, the publisher has not announced a new wave of DC books coming in the future, but it’s always a possibility!

When the dawn breaks, a hero rises.

His power is beyond imagining.

Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger–better–than everyone around him. But he wasn’t raised to show off, and drawing attention to himself could be dangerous. Plus, it’s not like he’s earned his powers . . . yet.

But power comes with a price.

Lately it’s difficult to hold back and keep his heroics in the shadows. When Clark follows the sound of a girl crying, he comes across Gloria Alvarez and discovers a dark secret lurking in Smallville. Turns out, Clark’s not the only one hiding something. Teaming up with his best friend, Lana Lang, he throws himself into the pursuit of the truth. What evil lies below the surface of his small town? And what will it cost Clark to learn about his past as he steps into the light to become the future Man of Steel? Because before he can save the world, he must save Smallville.
