Stories

  • New Krypton Part 2: Beyond Doomsday · 22 pages

    Former soldiers of General Zod roam Earth and wonder why Superman stopped him. General Lane gives Luthor the task of extracting information from Brainiac, but makes it clear who is in charge. Doomsday continues his assault on Superman, but this time he has help from Supergirl, her parents, and the other Kryptonians from Kandor. They push the fight to the moon, where the Kandorians dogpile on Doomsday and beat him to death, with Superman and Supergirl looking on. Zod's soldiers go to the Fortress and decide to release Zod from the Phantom Zone, but are stopped by Nightwing and Flamebird.
