Superman has rejected Earth in favor of New Krypton, seeking to prove that General Zod is up to no good. On New Krypton, Superman is one among 100,000, his powers outweighed by theirs. He uncovers a mystery deeper than the one he came to investigate. There is something more sinister going on.

Man, I am really loving this run of Superman. It's hard to figure out how to read the trades in order, but it's totally worth it. It's interesting how they are expanding the Krypton mythos and fleshing out some characters, like Alura, who have been footnates in the Superman saga. This was really a great read. I'm not a huge fan of the art, but that's minor. Anyway, check this series out.

You know what's frustrating? Having events between volumes of a series happen somewhere else. Between the end of volume 2 and the beginning of this volume, it's obvious a number of things happened off-screen to set up where volume 3 begins. What this means is some unresolved plot lines from volume 2 were (I assume) resolved elsewhere to set up the playing field here. Barring that, this chapter of the story is enjoyable enough, even if it sticks to cliched plot points and is a bit heavy handed with the themes and messages being pushed (violence is always bad, a class structure society is wrong, believe in your values, etc.).
