Everyone knows Superman’s origin story, and I’m no exception. However, I’ve never been particularly moved by it on an emotional level. Yes, I recognized that the destruction of Krypton was tragic, but I had never encountered a medium, visual or written, that truly made me understand just how tragic it was—until now.

Come October, Mark Waid and Clayton Henry will take over Action Comics. The upcoming issues include Action Comics #1070 on October 9, #1071 on October 16, and #1072 on October 23. This story arc focuses on the infamous Phantom Zone, promising plenty of new lore with Waid at the helm.
