The end where it all began! Return to one of the most storied periods in comics, and discover what led to the destruction of Supermanâs home planet!
Krypton is a utopia admired across the universe for its achievements in science and culture, but its shining towers and regal people conceal a planet rotting at its core. When a catastrophic event befalls Kryptonâs natural world, it points toward a mass extinction in the making. Jor-El, head of Kryptonâs revered Science Council, embarks on a mission to save a world that may already have passed the point of no return.
Â
As evidence of Kryptonâs environmental precarity mounts, the ruling council fights even harder to hide behind the myth of utopia. But a refusal to confront the problem is truly a refusal to attempt a solution!
Shining new light on the famous characters of Kryptonâs pastâincluding Jor-El, General Dru-Zod, and even a young Kara Zor-ElâWorld of Krypton combines action, cosmic wonder, and political intrigue in a story as much about our world as the one on the page.
