Superman: New Krypton, Vol. 1: Birth

Editorial Review:

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.

Rating: - Loving where this story is going!!!
Definilty building up to bigger things. One of the better Superman books since All-Star. You must pick up Superman: Braniac as it is a preceding story and an awesome book as well.

Rating: - A Solid Beginning to a Promising Story
People love to complain about Superman. He's too much of a boy scout, he's too powerful, he's boring--the list of criticisms against poor Supes is a long and tired one. Thank goodness, then, for Geoff Johns, the writer of the newly released Superman: New Krypton.

The story is a five-parter, with the first two chapters actually revolving around Jimmy Olsen (minor spoiler alerts ahead) as he uncovers a sinister plot to possibly eliminate Superman and every Kryptonian on the planet. ...
