- World of New Krypton, Part Two · 22 pages
After Superman begins his duties as Commander in New Krypton's military and meets his unit, he visits with his aunt and his cousin Supergirl at a gala held by the artists guild. After some family time, Kal-El is called away by Zod, who orders him to subdue a herd of rampaging thought-beasts. After completing his mission, however, Superman discovers that a faction of the labor guild has taken hostages at the gala and that as a counter-measure Commander Gor has taken members of the labor guild as hostages of his own.
Publisher’s description
Superman thought that by joining his people on New Krypton he could ease some of the tension between Earth and New Krypton--but lately nothing's been easy for the Man of Steel! Alura still shows no signs of becoming the kind of leader Superman wants her to be; the people of New Krypton still don't understand the responsibilities that come with their new abilities; and Zod? Superman doesn't even know where to start with Zod. All he knows is that he can't be trusted. And Zod is about to prove him right.
