The latest issue of SUPERMAN is set during the post-Infinite Crisis period when Superboy (Conner Kent) was dead. (In fact, that's when it was originally written, five years ago, but for reasons they never revealed, DC canned the issue despite it being fully scripted and penciled already.)
The issue begins with a flashback to Superboy and -dog playing frisbee. The only problem is, regular frisbees are too fragile for Krypto's strength, but Conner does some quick thinking.
Eventually, Krypto uses his super-senses to follow Superboy's trail, which finally leads him to the scene of his death.
