Superman: World of New Krypton #1 - DC

Well Superman has officially done it . . he's left Earth behind and he's moved to New Krypton. Well . . at least that's what he's letting everyone think. Earth will always be his home, but . . he can't really keep tabs on what's happening on New Krypton from there. So . . basically, he's gone undercover. I'm not sure if he has a set plan here, but . . I think this whole thing may be a lot harder than he originally envisioned. First he checks in with Alura. She's happy that he's changed his mind, but . . I don't think she really trusts him. Then, he goes off to meet Zod. It goes about as expected. The only thing that seems a bit off-kilter is the convenient absence of Ursa and Chris. However, in his short time here, I think Kal-el has discovered another means of disrupting whatever the plans are of Alura and Zod. Krypton has always been split up into Guilds. Kind of like the various caste's of a Socialist government. There's the Science Guild, the Artists Guild, the Military Guild and the Laborers Guild . . to name a few. Having spent so much time on Earth, Kal-el sees the problems with this order and that the Laborers Guild are little more than glorified slaves. I think Kal-el sees his chance at disrupting things here lying in the animosity that can be stirred up between the various guilds. But it's not going to be easy for him as Alura has assigned him to the Military Guild. He's under the direct command of Zod. "Welcome to the military, Commander El." James Robinson and Greg Rucka are handling the story here. There's an awful lot of possibilities that are open here. This world is pretty much a blank slate. Well, except for previous Kryptonian heritage. But, really . . that's all open for conjecture and interpretation. So . . anything goes . . maybe. I can't wait to see what James and Greg make of this opportunity. Pete Woods does the art. And it's all wrapped in a Gary Frank cover. What more could you ask for?
