Stories

  • World of New Krypton, Part Four · 22 pages

    While the Green Lanterns are being given a tour of New Krypton by Tyr-Van, Kal-El is called away by Zod and briefed on tracking down convicts who have escaped the destruction of the Phantom Zone. Kal and his unit rejoin the Green Lanterns just as convict Val-Ty makes an appearance. Zod orders Lieutenant Nar to execute the criminal, but Commander El insists that they subdue him. After Val-Ty is placed in custody and the Green Lanterns leave, Zod arrests Kal and Nar and charges them with treason.

Publisher’s description

A new planet suddenly appearing in any space sector would demand the scrutiny of the Green Lantern Corps. When the planet in question is New Krypton and the space sector is 2814, it means Kandor City gets a visit from Hal Jordan and John Stewart, with Daxamite Sodam Yat along for good measure. But what starts as a good-will mission soon becomes a manhunt for some of the Phantom Zone's most deranged and dangerous criminals and leads ultimately to dire conflict between the Corps and Zod's Military Guild--with Superman caught in the middle!
