[superfangirl1]

The backup add a heartfelt look at Krypto bond with Superman throughout his life in the phantom zone and how he was always by clark side even though his master couldn't see him.





The main story of superman saving Krypto from the phantom zone.

I don't like that ominous 'But it was Halloween after all...'

[darkknightjrk]

It's something different--basically the story is a "Halloween story" in that it involves "phantoms," and on the last page, the Kryptonian villain of the issue, stuck again in the Phantom Zone, is confronted by The Little Man, a fifth dimensional imp who recruits him for his Anti-Superman Army, which we saw earlier in Action Comics #5/6.

It's been awhile since something has come out of DCnu that I haven't hated with the power of a thousand suns.

[shadowpsykie]

heh there was a speck on my monitor, so i read that as "The power of a thousand Suris"

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Why can't we have more of this? I liked this.

[beoweasel]

Because everything has to be SUPER SERIOUS AND GRITTY! EXTREEEEEEME!

[darkknightjrk]

Damn this issue made me so happy. XD

[shadowpsykie]

excuse i'm.... i'll be....

*WEEEEEP*

[midnightvoyager]

Dog: *WTF WHERE IS GROUND, FLAIL FLAIL oh wait*

aaaa cute<3

[tauruschick12]

it's nice when dc realizes that not everything has to be depressing

[blackruzsa]

This is the best, oh god.

[icon_uk]

D-awwwwww!

And Krypto is a seriously big doggie!

[vitruvian23]

Good doggie!

And is it just me, or does this design for Krypto look a mite like Neil Gaiman's dog, Cabal? If that was the inspiration, yay, although I'll miss Krypto having the same build as my own dog, so that he looks like a color reversed version of him (Krypto white, Jack black).

[grimmbear]

Your Dog is Jack Black? well now, I'm glad you found one another, but I didn't think he was into "Puppy Play"

[vitruvian23]

No, he's not Jack Black the actor, whom I like in small doses and mostly in Tenacious D. His name is just Jack, but he happens to have black fur where Krypto has white, but otherwise look almost like his twin... the way he used to be drawn. He's a mut, a Lab/terrier mix who somehow looks somewhat like a beagle.

[md84]

GOOD DOG. BEST FRIEND.

[thormonger]

Something... in my eye...

I'm glad Krypto's back.

[darth_cloudo]

It's the onions. *sniff*

[akodo_rokku]

Grant Morrison sure knows how to tug on the heartstrings.

[gamerguy]

I would prefer him to look more like he used to instead of all wolf-like and x-treme, but that was indeed pretty cool.

[silverhammerman]

Between this and the aggressively heartwarming zero issue, I think Morrison is finally firing on all cylinders with this book, it's a pity he'll be leaving it soon.
I like that even in the XTREMELY XTREME current paradigm Morrison can still bring back Krypto, because he's Grant Morrison and that's just what he does.
Totally not crying by the way. Totally.

[chocochuy]

Here, have my Kleenex, you totally do not need it but you might wanna clean that water down your face.

In all seriousness, perhaps there is a chance we get a Reconstruction era after this 2nd XTREEEMEE age. Here is hoping for the best.

[chocochuy]

Eyes suddenly leaking not-tears and heart beating with nostalgia and warmth. Who brought onions to the community?

....Welcome back, Krypto.

[grimmbear]

I actually cried at this. I adore Krypto. I'm all faklempt again.

[an_idol_mind]

Love the Krypto.

I wish Morrison was handling more of the DC Reboot. His stuff seems to be some of the only really good stuff out there right now.

[liara_shadowsong]

...I love Krypto. Despite what I think of most of the ideas in the DCnu thus far, I'd say that bringing in Krypto was one of the good ones.

[cypherfdp]

The best revival in a very long time.

[sindra]

OH GOD I HAVE AWESOME IN MY EYE.



So much awesome. *sniff*
