- World of New Krypton, Part Three · 22 pages
Zod allows Kal-El thirty minutes to negotiate with the labor guild hostage-takers. When Alura finds their leader Tam-Or's demands reasonable and acceptable, the hostages are released. Commander Gor, not satisfied with the outcome, tries to assassinate Tam-Or, but Supergirl saves his life. Humiliated by Kal-El's actions, Gor challenges Superman to a physical duel. But Kal-El teaches Gor that though he now has the same super-powers as Superman, he doesn't have Superman's experience with them. Just as Superman puts down Gor, New Krypton receives a visit from the Green Lantern Corps.
Publisher’s description
With Superman now drafted into New Krypton's Military Guild, it seems that General Zod finally has the Man of Steel under his control. But when given a command to commit an act of brutality against his fellow Kryptonians, Superman must choose between following orders and following his conscience--at the risk of being branded a traitor by his own people!
