I love the silver age, so I was always a fan of Krypto. The series was cute and the six issue comic book spinoff was fun too. It's bring and colorful and features team-ups with Superman, Batman and Flash!

This was a comic-style book that contained two stories featuring Krypto the Superdog.
In the first story, a puppy from Krypton is trapped in space for several years. When he comes out of hibernation and lands on earth, he's fully grown. He befriends an earth boy, but misses the little boy he knew on Krypton. He discovers he has superpowers and uses them to rescue some animals. But will he ever see his original owner again?
In the second story, strange earthquakes are happening every 15 minutes. Krypto, Supercat and Ace (Batman's dog) join forces to solve the case.
The eight-year-old girl I read this book to loved it. It was good to see a comic book about superheroes that wasn't dark. There were also some extra educational features in the back (i.e. jokes, glossary, info about the creators and some comprehension questions). I'll definitely be looking for the others in this series.

Not up to par with the other comics coming out with DC/Capstone. Obviously for little kids; plots are very simple and straightforward; this contains two separate non-related stories with the first one being the introduction tale of how Ktypto got to Earth and why Superman lets him stay with Kevin. The second is a team up with Ace the Bat-Hound. But for the young intended audience the reading level is a bit high and the bubbles contain a lot of text. Not *my* thing and I'd recommend other Capstone series over this one.

Krypto is a fun superhero to read about.
