Superman: New Krypton, Vol. 4 by James Robinson
2.0

I can't help but want so much more for this. I think the ideas here are great. I think the world building works at times. I even think just the idea of Clark going around a new Krypton trying to help his people rebuild is very interesting.

This volume basically comes right from the events of the last one in which Zod was shot. Of course he's still alive even when shot through the chest cause these fuckers never die. So then the very next arc after that is watching a mystery of another guy dying and superman and friends searching for the killer.

The Good: The ideas, again, are smart and great. I also loved the moments when Clark handles his own shit and takes down people.

The Bad: The plot is SLOW and not in a interesting way. The art can be really ugly at times too. The world building, while well done, has all been done before. Also, it's been done better.

This is the last volume of this storyline but we still have WAR for New Krypton! Let's hope that's more exciting than this...or not...who knows.
