About this Collection

This 2013 hardcover collects the Superman: Last Son of Krypton storyline, originally published in Action Comics #844-846, #851, and the Superman: Last Son of Krypton one-shot. Written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner with art by Adam Kubert, the story introduces a young Kryptonian boy who crash-lands on Earth, leading Superman to confront both the boy's mysterious origins and the return of General Zod. The volume also includes the related story 'Escape from Bizarro World' from Action Comics #855-857, featuring art by Eric Powell.

In "Last Son," Superman faces a chilling threat as the Revenge Squad battles Phantom Zone criminals overtaking Metropolis, with Zod demanding absolute obedience—starting with his own son, Chris. Written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, and brought to life by Adam Kubert’s dynamic art and Edgar Delgado’s vivid colors, this pivotal 2013 issue delivers intense action and emotional stakes, culminating in a sacrifice that reshapes Superman’s understanding of legacy. The cover by Adam Kubert captures the moment’s gravity, making it a must-have for fans of the Man of Steel’s darker, more personal arcs.

In "Last Son," Superman intercepts a mysterious ship crash and discovers a young boy with Kryptonian abilities, speaking the ancient language of his people. Taken to the Department of Metahuman Affairs under Sarge Steel’s watch, the boy vanishes overnight—prompting Superman to break into the Pentagon and rescue him before he’s handed over to unknown handlers.
