    I must say that I have been enjoying the Superman comics again.  I've read them for some time.  I've liked them but they usually didn't leave too much of an impression on me.  Lately, things have been really interesting.  With the release of the Kandor, the bottled city, everything has changed.  With New Krypton, we have a bunch of Kryptonians flying around and there are those on Earth that aren't too happy.  The fact that General Zod has been released from the Phantom Zone and is high in power, once again, probably won't make things any better.  To make things worse, all Kryptonians (except Superman) have been banned from Earth, including Supergirl.

    Here's a trailer DC just put out for the "World Of New Krypton."  For all the Superman haters (I still don't get why all the hate), he's not the central character in the arc.

    I hate Superman, but the Brainiac story, followed by New Krypton is AMAZING. I highly recommend this....

    Big war between super powered alien race. I don't know, just sounds an awful lot like SI. At least the main story arc, not the lead up to it.

    Along with Captain America, Superman is one of the greatest superheroes from the golden age.

    He was. Does anyone remember he was beaten to a bloody pulp by superboy-prime on Infinite Crisis (i'm talking about Kal-L the Ubermensch of the Golden Age)? THAT WAS AWFUL!
    P.S He was the counterpart of Captain America, who's also the shiznit!

    First, I wasn't trying to come off like a d!ck, just asking. Sometimes asking comes off as cocky on the web. SI was something planned over years and years, infiltrating the system. New Krypton happened by accident. Aliens invading earth is a storyline that's been used time and time again. We could say they're both ripoffs of Independence Day, the Day The Earth Stood Still (the original), Signs, the list goes on and on. I can't really say it's fair to compare the two since it's an overused (but still pretty good) storyline.

    It just seems awfully soon to be doing an alien invasion story, for any comic company.

    You could say the same thing about SI and Drafted. Humans getting "Drafted" by Aliens to invade another alien planet. I know, it's the "Big Two" and they both play off each other's stories and characters quite a bit, so your argument does make perfect sense and I can understand why you would say that. The New Krypton story is something a lot of Supe fans have been waiting for, ever since they found out about the Bottled City of Kandor.

    I wished they'd have a new villan/hero to look at.
