REVIEW: SUPERMAN: NEW KRYPTON VOLUME TWO

The New Krypton storyline was hurt by not getting the focus it needed. I don't have as as many problems with big crossovers as I do Marvel and DC rushing some events that should get a more wide focused approach to them. Now it seems like its not just one big event but one big one with several small ones and then followed by next big one.

Marvel seems to have had a more focused approach to their crossovers than DC when it comes to mulitpale book storylines but they also looks now like they are also falling into the same fast track trap DC itself into a lot. Example Shadowland.

New Krypton had the weight to be on the same scale and have the same focus as Blackest Night but just as with Amazons Attack DC dropped the ball. But dropped the ball with the symbol of the company. Now I know most people like Batman more but Superman is the symbol of DC Comics. Hell, he's the symbol of American comics period.

As to Superman: New Krypton Volume 2 I enjoyed it but I was distracted by how good I thought it could have been. Besides a bunch of cameos and one battle this story only lightly touched the overall DC Universe. This is what would have happen if they had tried to keep Blackest Night in only the Green Lantern books. The artwork is spot on but I so wish this story had went company wide on a large scale.
