"World of Krypton" takes place before the destruction of Krypton and on the day that Zor-El and Lara are introducing Kara to their world. There are 3 covers for the first issue. One featuring Zor-El and Lara, one with baby Kara and the very rare one featuring Kelex.

The comic is a six-part mini-series written by Robert Venditti with art by Michael Avon Oeming. I'm not thrilled with the art style, but it works. The comic is a reboot of an old title that was the basis of the SyFy TV series "Krpton" and unlike its predecessor, seems to follow Zor-El, Kara's father, rather than Kal-El's father Jor-El.

It was bit of a slow start for me & seemed to focus on the politics of the time. We did get glances of the planet and some of the flora and fauna. Hopefully we'll get more. Kara is a baby here and Krypton didn't explode until she was older, depending on which canon we're playing with here. I hope we get to see her explore her planet and wonder at the marvel of it while also watching the meltdown of the council and ultimate failure to save the planet. Not only would it be more impactful, it would help us see the loss through Kara's eyes. The last survivor of a lost culture.
I will pick up number two and as long as we get more Kara, I'll keep picking them up. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes to follow anything new with Kara Zor-El or loves Kryptonian history, otherwise it's probably a skip. I'll keep you informed.
