Not a big fan of what's going on in this series so far, but I will say this about this issue: Bendis writes a pretty entertaining Batman.

Wow. That is a huge step. Interested in what comes next.

You know? when Robinson's WW started by killing off myth heroes off to empower Darkseid, I had an argument with someone over how awful the run was.
To me, killing off the myth heroes was actually inoffensive in the grand scheme of things, because they are less of a supporting cast and more like plot elements that are always coming back whenever a writer or someone else wants to give Diana some classic greek adventures.
My point was that, unlike the amazons after what Azzarello did, canon can be more flexible on wheter they are alive or not. Aside from the gods and Mcguffins, Diana only dives deep into greek myth whenever a writer feels like it, rather than that being the sources of most of her plots.

Where I am going with this is that Kandor is not going to remain "dead", nor is their dead going to be some sort of before/after for the superman books because Kandor is used so little in the main books that the big shock for me wasn't it's destruction, but the fact that the city was, in fact, canon once more.

Point is, I am okay with Kandor being destroyed for this story.

Destroying Kandor is like crashing the Helicarrier. It doesn't really matter because you know there's always more of them.

Maybe it's my age or when I read Superman comics, but I enjoyed the post-Crisis Kandor. A Kryptonian city populated by non-Kryptonian aliens doing their best to get along. It looked like it was in a bottle but it was really in its own dimension.

(I think it might have been names Kandor by Superman after a legendary Kryptonian city. Like Krypton's Camelot or Brigadoon or something. That could just be my fanboy brain.)

I was a big fan of Skorn from that version of Kandor, I admit.
