Adventures Of Superman: Book Of El #12 Preview

 


Families don’t always get along. But when Kara Zor-El rallies her Super Force in Superman’s absence, she strives to get two warring members to work together. Just as Superboy Prime must recognize the wrong he did to Conner Kent, Pyrrhos seeks reconciliation with Osul-Ra in Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s intergalactic epic. And just as Dru-Zod strives to regain the family he has lost, Kryl-Ux seeks to reunite his family. But like Zod, Kryl-Ux refuses to learn the truth that Jon Kent acknowledged. There’s no going back in life. Progress is all about going forward.

 

Can Superman help Kryl-Ux recognize that, instead of freeing himself from Mongul’s chains, he has made himself more of a prisoner than he ever was on Warworld? Or will Kryl-Ux carry out his threat to obliterate the House of El from existence forever?

Adventures Of Superman: Book Of El #11 Preview

 


In his desperate search for power, Kryl-Ux has sought to bring his family back. With each god-aspect of Olgrun he collects, Kryl-Ux feels closer to reconnecting with his loved one. Yet as he seeks divinity to resurrect his family, the Promethean King leaves destruction and death in his wake. 

While Kryl-Ux destroys families in the name of love, Superman reunites his family. The House of El saves lives, and gives people a chance to begin again. But how will the House of El fare as Kryl-Ux assembles the final god-aspects of Olgrun? And can all that power give Kryl-Ux what he most desires?

Adventures of Superman: Book of El #10 Preview

 


As Kryl-Ux seeks out the God-Aspects of Olgrun, he awakens old grievances. While betraying his allies, Kryl-Ux prompts people to desperate acts to frustrate his plans. So, when he needs reinforcements, he raises the dead to bolster his ranks. 

Ironically, the House of El proves also adept at gathering the God-Aspects. To aid their cause, they awaken a former enemy that seems capable of forging a better legacy. But can the House of El defend Tamaran from Kryl-Ux's Warzoons? And how will Superman fare in a battle that reawakens bad memories?

Adventures of Superman: Book of El #9 Preview

 


Civilizations rise and fall. And where Kryl-Ux's Warzoons are concerned, civilizations tend to fall more than they rise. As Kryl-Ux seeks to unite the god-aspects of Olgrun, his next target is the planet Tamaran. Yet on a small planetoid, one of Superman's sons plans to kill another to prevent Kryl-Ux from succeeding. 

While Superman attacks the Warzoons ravaging a Tamaranean outpost, can Rowan and Ronan Kent rescue Osul-Ra from the clutches of Pyrrhos the Red? And why would Queen Theand'r evacuate her planet, rather than risk a battle with the Warzoons?
