Superman: Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite

    (DC, 1996)
™ and ©1996 DC Comics

Collected from the original storyline that spanned Superman, the Adventures of Superman and Action Comics, this trade paperback is a nicely contained edition that tells of Superman’s fateful encounter with Red Kryptonite—the character’s first since his “re-boot” in 1986 (see John Byrne’s The Man of Steel). But don’t be misled by the narrowness of the title—the Red Kryptonite menace is just for starters! In this edition, Superman also loses his powers, Lex Luthor teams up with the impish Mr. Mxyzptlk, Green Lantern and Starman make guest appearances, Clark Kent proposes to Lois Lane, and a major character dies (Want a hint? OK: their initials are “L.L.”). The collection features the writing and artistic talents of numerous Superman creators, notably Roger Stern (Avengers (1st series)), Jerry Ordway (Power of Shazam) and Dan Jurgens (Teen Titans (2nd Series)).
