Superman Faces Difficult Choices in DC’s New Krypton TP Vol. 1

No caption. Years of planning culminate in a historic union of creative teams from across and beyond DC Comics’ entire Superman franchise in the Superman: New Krypton TP Volume 1 (FEB100196D, $17.99).

The story that kicked off “World of New Krypton” is compiled in this trade featuring Superman: New Krypton Special #1, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen Special #1, Superman #681, Action Comics #871 and Adventure Comics Special featuring The Guardian #1.

Over the decades, Superman’s Kryptonian origins have grown from a simple comic book story into a cultural legend. This much-anticipated event – written by Geoff Johns, James Robinson & Sterling Gates and illustrated by Pete Woods with contributions by Gary Frank, Renato Guedes, Jon Sibal and Wilson Magalháes – should appeal to the character’s broad, multigenerational fan base.

Sporting a cover by Gary Frank, the 176-page, full-color trade paperback is ready for immediate reorder. Also available now are the Superman: New Krypton HC Volumes 1-4 (JAN090239D / MAY090189D / NOV090178D / FEB100194D; $24.99 each). Superman copes with the happiness – and sadness – accompanying Brainiac’s defeat while facing another puzzle: what will he do with 100,000 Kryptonians?

Fans drawn into the Action Ace’s dilemma will also want to check out DC Comics’ Superman: War of the Superman Double Feature #1 (APR108050D, $4.99). The cover to this edition features interior art from issue #0 by Eddy Barrows & J.P. Mayer. The 56-page comic reprints stories from Superman: War of the Supermen #1 and #2 by James Robinson & Sterling Gates, with art by Jamal Igle, Jon Sibal, Eduardo Pansica & Wayne Faucher.

Additionally, the Superman: War of the Superman #0 Free Comic Book Day Edition (JAN100007J) and Superman: War of the Superman #4 (MAR100205) are both in stock now. And, don’t miss the Superman: New Krypton TP Volume 2 (JUN100214D, $17.99) in your June PREVIEWS.
