Superman: New Krypton #1
"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.
