"The Coming of Atlas" is a comic book story arc, from DC Comics, by writer James Robinson and artists Renato Guedes and José Wilson Magalhães, featuring Superman.

This, as well as Geoff Johns's "Brainiac" arc on Action Comics, led to their planned narrative unification on Action Comics, Superman and Supergirl in "Superman: New Krypton".
