However, when several human police officers refuse to hand over the Parasite, they are killed by the task force, enraging Superman.Īt the same time, Lex Luthor, who has been recruited by General Sam Lane to halt the Kryptonian "invasion", gains control of Brainiac and unleashes his robot army from within the depths of the alien's spaceship, currently being held in Kandor.

The Superman legacy and the Superman books are so important, and the three of us are interested in pulling people into the Superman universe so hard that people look forward to picking up a Superman or Supergirl book every week. What we hope to achieve is to make these three comics the most kick-ass books that DC puts out. Gates, coming onto the Supergirl title with issue #34, has stated his intention of working with Johns and Robinson, stating: Robinson also added that even though neither he nor Johns would be writing Supergirl, they made it clear that they were still the advisors to the book's next ongoing writer, Sterling Gates. ![]() The plan was to link the three Super-books ( Action Comics, Superman, and Supergirl), allowing them to cross over more fluidly on a regular basis and also allowing the narratives to be tied together similar to a bi-weekly series.Īccording to Johns, the plan was to make readers want to get the Super-titles because they would not feel that "you HAVE to read, but that you WANT to read". In the months before Johns started his Brainiac arc, and James Robinson took over writing duties on Superman, both Johns and Robinson had made clear their plans for the Superman-related titles following those arcs for the rest of 2008 onto the end of 2010. The events of this story lead directly into the 12-part series Superman: World of New Krypton. This story begins a planned "link" on Action Comics, Superman, and Supergirl as part of their collective plans for Superman and his cast of characters through 2008 and beyond. The story features Superman coming to terms with the death of his adoptive father while also dealing with 100,000 Kryptonians now living on Earth as a result of the Brainiac story arc. The arc is an inter-title crossover, published in Action Comics, Superman and Supergirl. " New Krypton" is a 2008–09 comic book story arc featuring character Superman, published by American company DC Comics it was written by Geoff Johns, James Robinson and Sterling Gates, with art by Gary Frank, Alex Ross, Renato Guedes, Jamal Igle and Pete Woods.
