This is a good continuation of the New Krypton storyline. Superman now has to play the role of diplomat to a nation of Kryptonians who are not as peaceful as he believed, and who have formed a new planet on the other side of the sun, a constant presence and reminder that they can, at will, attack the Earth if they so choose.

In the meantime, the Phantom Zone is collapsing, and Mon-El--Kal-El's childhood friend--is trapped until Superman pulls him free. Now he takes Superman's place on Earth while Superman visits New Krypton as an ambassador and spy. General Zod is there and "reformed," but Superman will not believe such a thing is possible.

This did do a little jumping around, but as a whole I really liked it. I've known of Mon-El, but this is really the first story I've read about him. I think he'll really add something to the Superman family. I liked that they established a secret identity, and thought it was a good move making him one of the science cops. It helps to make him different from Superman. Interesting story. I'd definitely read more Mon-El solo stuff.
