RIP Krypto

Five-panel comic. The cocky New 52 Superman brags to the classic Superman about being younger, Jim Lee designed, single, and Wonder Woman adjacent, daring him to name one thing better about the old continuity. The answer is Krypto the Superdog, whose single Arf reduces the rebooted Superman to tears.

Transcript of “RIP Krypto”

Panel 1. The New 52 Superman asks the classic Superman: "So... how's forced retirement going?" and adds: "It's been awesome for me." Classic Superman replies: "Not so bad." Panel 2. The New 52 Superman brags: "I'm designed by Jim Lee, younger, single, I get to punch more, talk less, underwear on the inside, MY Jimmy Olsen looks like Bieber, AND if I play my cards right, Morrison's totally gonna hook me up with Wonder Woman!" He challenges: "Name one thing that's better than all that in your old continuity!" Panel 3. The classic Superman just smiles warmly while the new one peers over his shoulder. Panel 4. Krypto the Superdog, tongue out and tail wagging in his little cape and S-shield tag, says: "Arf." Panel 5. The New 52 Superman's face crumples as a single tear rolls down his cheek.
