Stories

New Krypton Part Two Strange Meetings and Chance Encounters · 22 pages
The Kryptonians from Kandor are the big news story. Superman is on his way to Kandor when he is confronted by members of the Justice Society of America and Wonder Woman about the Kryptonians' presence on Earth, but he assures them everything will work out. Superman then meets up with the Kryptonians and Supergirl in Kandor, and leads a delegation of them to Metropolis to meet the President of the United States. The President jokes that Supergirl's parents owe him a new plane, but their meeting is interrupted by a fireball crashing. Emerging from it was Doomsday.

Publisher’s description

Picking up directly from SUPERMAN: NEW KRYPTON SPECIAL #1, 100,000 Kryptonians have descended on Earth. But their introduction to the world follows a bumpy road, and humans and Kryptonians alike are wary of one another. Meanwhile, Clark must say goodbye to a long-standing member of his supporting cast while the threat behind Atlas makes his next move against the Man of Steel!
