“Rocket Song”

In "Rocket Song," Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert deliver a poignant, character-driven journey through Superman’s origins, told from the unique perspective of the ship that carried him to Earth. As it recounts Jor-El and Lara’s final moments, Kal-El’s voyage through space, his arrival and adoption by the Kents, and the moment Superman uncovers the ship, a mysterious theft sets the stage for deeper questions. The story is brought to life with Andy Kubert’s dynamic interior art and Joe Prado’s striking cover.
