Stories

The Mind of Rudy Jones · 22 pages
Superman frees Parasite from the Phantom Zone. Mon-El informs Superman that Bizarro is missing, as are Zod and his followers. Parasite reaches in and grabs Mon-El, absorbing some of his energy before Superman stops him. Parasite plays weak until he is left alone, and escapes, using up the last of the power he took from Mon-El. At Science Police HQ, The Guardian introduces himself to his troops. Superman visits New Krypton, and with Alura watches a parade in honor of the new planet. He tells her that Zod is missing, and she tells him she released Zod and has put him in charge of their army.

Publisher’s description

In this "New Krypton" epilogue and "Faces of Evil" issue, the crisis on Earth between Kryptonians and humans has been averted for now, but the threat of the Parasite remains very, very real!
