Courtesy of DC Comics, we have your first look at World of Krypton #1, a new six-issue series by Robert Venditti and Michael Avon Oeming. Fans can pick up the first issue on December 17th.

Don’t miss the first look for Batman, Batgirls, Shadows of the Bat, Swamp Thing Green Hell, and One-Star Squadron. Expect to find all of DC Comics’ December previews this Friday when DC Connect goes live digitally!

On Krypton, writer Robert Venditti (GREEN LANTERN, THE SURROGATES) and artist Michael Avon Oeming (POWERS) are going back in time in this modern telling of one of the most storied periods in comics in WORLD OF KRYPTON. When a catastrophic event befalls Krypton’s natural world, it points toward a mass extinction in the making. Jor-El, head of Krypton’s revered Science Council, embarks on a mission to save a world that may already have passed the point of no return.

This six issue miniseries shines new light on the famous characters of Krypton’s past—including Jor-El, General Dru-Zod, and even a young Kara Zor-El—World of Krypton combines action, cosmic wonder, and political intrigue in a story as much about our world as the one on the page.

And if that’s not enough to draw you in: there will be puppy Krypto.
