STORY: Scott Lobdell. A "before Superman" story. It seems that other Kryptonians knew that their planet
was doomed and did not want Jor-El to make it public. For some reason they wanted to die. We
also learn that Supes mom Lara was a kick-ass military chick. The story was cute, but what the
hell was Kal doing on the final page? It looks like we see a grown up Superman on some kind of
skyscraper overlooking a city on Krypton! It also states that he "was there"...WHAT?! Does he
have "super memory" as a new power? Can he remember things from the womb?
ART: Kenneth Rocafort. This guy is good but he is leaning way too much into Leinil Yu land.
* there is a two page epilogue that shows some kind of creature blowing a horn on Krypton and talking about a second chance and the last son...what? Did Krypton not explode in the New 52? There is also a
mention of Oracle...isn't Oracle really Batgirl, Barbra Gordon, in the old DC?
FINAL FILE: Buy,Read,Bag it...but be ready for questions!
