(Super)Man’s Best Friend Gets His Own Limited Series with ‘Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton’
DC Comics announced that writer Ryan North and artist Mike Norton will melt every reader’s heart with a new, five-issue limited series featuring everybody’s favorite Kryptonian pup, Krypto. The first issue hits shelves June 18th with a main cover by Jae Lee and a variant by Dustin Nguyen. Check out a look at the cover art and interior sketches below!
“Each issue of this miniseries is a complete short story, combining to tell the full story of Krypto the Superdog” continued North. “Throughout these stories we see Krypto face a strange new world. He travels from town to town, meeting and befriending people, sometimes helping to solve their problems—and sometimes finding problems of his own. He’s a very good dog.”
What’s DC saying about the new series?
Jor-El and Lara are working on a ship capable of keeping someone alive in interstellar space, but when their first test—with Krypto inside—goes catastrophically wrong, the dog is thought lost. Unbeknownst to them, Krypto and his spacecraft merely entered an unexpected space-time gateway, and days later from his point of view—even though it’s been decades in real time—Krypto lands on Earth.
Finding himself lost and alone on our alien world—and with strange new superpowers quickly coming in—Krypto begins traveling the strange planet he finds himself in the middle of, always on the trail of his lost friend: Kal-El, a being now better known as Superman.
