DC may have missed Superman’s birthday, but they’re making up for it by giving him the best belated gift he could have wished for: The return of his race. Starting in October and spinning out of current events happening in Action Comics, the Last Son of Krypton will find himself surrounded by more Kryptonians than he knows what to do with.
As part of a storyline called New Krypton that will begin with a 48-page special issue of the same name before running through the monthly Superman, Action Comics and Supergirl comics, DC’s Man of Steel will discover that defeating Brainiac leaves him with 100,000 Kryptonians freed from their miniaturized prison and looking for somewhere to live.
The nine-part story (“years in the making,” according to the solicitation copy), which will last until the end of the year, is written by Geoff Johns (writer of last year’s awesome Sinestro Corps War storyline in Green Lantern), James Robinson and Sterling Gates.
