Superman: New Krypton #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"From a Cub to a Wolf" kicks off a pivotal chapter in Superman's saga, as the fallout from Zod’s defeat sends ripples through Earth and Kryptonian exile. Geoff Johns and Pete Woods deliver a high-stakes story where former soldiers of General Zod question Superman’s choices, while Luthor is tasked with extracting secrets from Brainiac—under General Lane’s watchful eye. The tension escalates when Doomsday’s assault is met with a united front from Supergirl, her parents, and the Kandorians, culminating in a brutal battle on the moon. Meanwhile, a desperate bid to free Zod from the Phantom Zone is thwarted by Nightwing and Flamebird, setting the stage for a war that’s far from over. Gary Frank and Jon Sibal’s striking cover captures the moment’s gravity, a fitting frame for a story where legacy, loyalty, and survival collide.
In the wake of Superman’s clash with Atlas, Jimmy Olsen follows a mysterious lead that unravels a hidden past tied to Jonathan Drew and a shadowy figure known only as Codename: Assassin. As Jimmy pieces together the truth through flashbacks and dead ends, he’s drawn into a web of secrets involving Cadmus, a long-lost Guardian clone, and a town called Warpath where the past is never truly buried.
In "The Worst Night of His Life," Jimmy Olsen reconnects with a man who claims to be his old friend Jim Harper—only to learn the truth is far more complicated. As Harper recounts his harrowing past, including discovering an alien named Tellus, surviving the death of the original Jim Harper, and confronting a cloning facility filled with his own and Paul Kirk’s duplicates, the weight of identity and humanity takes center stage. When Jimmy leaves, Harper is left with a secret: he didn’t destroy every clone—he saved one, a young female clone named Gwendoline—and now, with a quiet resolve, he prepares to return to Metropolis.
In the wake of Jonathan Kent’s funeral, Superman grapples with grief and rage, his thoughts turning to Brainiac—captured and under interrogation by a mysterious general. Meanwhile, Clark reconnects with his extended family in the newly expanded Kandor, meeting Zor-El and Alura, while Lois pays respects to her father at his grave, sharing a quiet moment with Lucy. As the general’s true identity emerges—Sam Lane—his recruitment of Lex Luthor sets a new course, one that pulls even Batman and Alfred into the shadow of a conflict that’s far from over.
In the midst of a storm of headlines and headlines, Superman navigates a delicate moment when the Justice Society of America and Wonder Woman question the arrival of the Kryptonians from Kandor. As he leads a delegation of Kryptonians—including Supergirl and her parents, Zor-El and Alura-El—into Metropolis to meet the President, the city’s skyline buzzes with tension and curiosity. But before the meeting can fully begin, a fireball tears through the sky, and from its smoldering wreckage emerges a threat long thought buried.
In "Beyond Doomsday," Superman faces his most brutal challenge yet as Doomsday returns — this time backed by Supergirl, her parents Zor-El and Alura, and the Kandorian refugees. With General Lane and Lex Luthor pursuing secrets from Brainiac, and Zod’s former soldiers plotting to free their leader from the Phantom Zone, the battle for Earth’s fate reaches a shocking climax on the moon.
