Product Description
Best-selling writers Geoff Johns (INFINITE CRISIS, GREEN LANTERN) and James Robinson (STARMAN, JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE) unleash a massive storyline that changes Superman's life forever!
After a devastating battle with the alien villain Brainiac, The Man of Steel learns that a piece of his home planet Krypton survived - the shrunken, bottled city of Kandor! And when the city is grown to normal size, it looks like Superman finally has the connection to his past he's been missing all his life as thousands of Kryptonians are suddenly able to walk the Earth. But his happiness soon turns to dread as relations between the Kryptonians and humans dissolve, and the two cultures face a massive clash!
This is just the beginning of a 9-part mega-event that alters The Man of Tomorrow down to his core. |

just a good fun read. The art was clean and clear. The Arc is a good jumping on point since i missed this series when it came out in floppies.

New Krypton Volume #1, Tuesday, December 01, 2009
New Krypton volume #1 is a homecoming of sorts for the world's most famous superhero, Superman. After the events of the epic Braniac TPB the planet Earth has suddenly found itself home to roughly 100,000 new residents with one thing in common; they all possess to a degree the same super powers as a certain Man of Steel. The residents in question? The former citizens of the bottled city of Kandor of the planet Krypton. Thanks to the events in Superman:Braniac they now find themselves free of their bottled captivity and living on the planet Earth.
Surely Superman would be overjoyed with this development you say? Yes and no. Our favorite Kryptonian realizes that not every one on Earth will be ecstastic to learn that there are now in their minds 100,000 new beings all possessing the same destructive powers as Mr Kent. Certain shadowy figures in the US government echo these sentiments and this is really where our story begins.
Without spoiling the story for anyone the major overlying plot of New Krypton Volume #1 is these new arrivals and the affect it has on the world around them. It begins with a young Jimmy Olsen playing detective and uncovering a plot against not only Superman but the newly arrived residents of Kandor. It seems that although the vast majority of the Kryptonians are peace loving like Kal-El there are still a few that favor the military approach of one General Zod. These happenings and the way they unfold make New Krypton an interesting read but all in all more of a bridge between the truly epic Braniac story and the further developments to come.
