Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 Second Printing cover by Martín Morazzo
The first printing of Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 is flying off shelves, and DC is headed back to press for a second printing of this hit comic book to arrive in stores on October 8. Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 Second Printing will arrive with a recolored version of Martín Morazzo 's main cover for issue #1.
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum is “a timeless, innovative, and heartfelt story that is equal parts sci-fi adventure and personal examination,” wrote The Beat in their review of the first issue.
The series is “well on its way to becoming a classic Superman story,” wrote Comic Watch about Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum in their praise for the creative team and the debut of this five-part story.
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum is by writer W. Maxwell Prince and artist Martin Morazzo, with colors by Chris O’Halloran. Prince, Morazzo and O’Halloran lend their signature blend of existential superhero fantasy/horror to the world of Superman in this new comic book series that brings the Man of Tomorrow into contact with every flavor of Kryptonite under the yellow sun. In the limited DC Black Label comic book series, four new Kryptonites have been discovered in deep space, and Superman needs to know just what, exactly, they do to him—lest the colorful rocks of his home planet fall into evil hands! With Batman and other DC Super Heroes at his side, this five-issue event explores the consequences of each never-before-seen variety of Kryptonite—all in the formal, and boundary-pushing fashion, that Prince, Morazzo, and O’Halloran are celebrated for.
