And what does their mission have to do with the fate of New Krypton? James Robinson (SUPERMAN) and Julián López (WORLD’S FINEST) may have an answer or two!

The horrifying plans Brainiac 5 discovers inside will alter Superman’s life – FOREVER! Plus, in the co-feature by Eric Trautmann (ACTION COMICS) and newcomer Pier Gallo, learn more about General Lane’s Human Defense Corps – Earth’s best line of defense against the looming Kryptonian threat!

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS


This is the start. Yeah, the Superman-symbol numbering says “30” on the cover, but to me this is the kick-off to the Last Stand of New Krypton storyline that I’m guessing will run through Superman #700. Personally I think this is one of the best storylines in years. New Krypton is the home of the now-normal-sized city of Kandor residents (Kandor was a shrunken Krypton city), criminals from the Phantom Zone, like General Zod, and, for the past year, Superman. Never made sense, to me, that Superman was the main survivor of the Krypton explosion, and this storyline is addressing that in full. This “first” issue offers great art, great writing, and sets up future action. Buy this one, and know that much is set-up here; a great start.

I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams
