By Geoff Johns (Writer), Pete Woods (Artist), Renato Guedes (Artist), Wilson Magalhaes (Artist) and Rob Leigh (Colors) After months of building up the tension between the people of Kandor and Earth, the “New Krypton” finale fails to finish “properly.” For weeks, we followed this story as the overlooked important event in DC and to Superman’s [...]

By James Robinson (writer), Renato Guedes (pencils), Wilson Magalhaes (inks), Hi-Fi (colors) I am gushing over this book.

Superman #679 – Capsule Review
