This review is from: Superman: Return to Krypton (Paperback)
DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE STORY SPOILED!!
Initially, this story was kind of fun because you get to see Superman meet his biological father do a little father-son bonding (even though they're the same age in the story, so it's more like brother-brother bonding), but it gets old pretty quick. I bought this because I mistook it for the Mike Mignola/John Byrne story from the eighties in which Superman traveled to the remains of Krypton with Hawkman and Hawkwoman in an attempt to find a cure for kryptonite poisoning, and winds up having a "What if?"-type vision, exploring the potential outcome if the entire population of Krypton had fled to earth prior to its destruction. What I got was nothing near as good as that. Instead, it was "Lois and Clark vacation to a Matrix-esque, fictional version of Krypton," most of which, Clark had no powers, so it was hardly a 'Superman' story at all.

It was also kind of fun to read for a while as a sort of homage to the "traditional" Krypton of the pre-John Byrne-revamping of the Superman-mythos, but being the huge fan that I am of Byrne's re-imagining of Krypton, that also got a bit old.

All in all, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered with "Return to Krypton."
