    About this ebook

    Thirty years ago, BRAINIAC shrank the city of KANDOR and sealed it inside an unbreakable glass container. The evil supercomputer is still exploring the universe, collecting cities from hundreds of planets. SUPERMAN must stop BRAINIAC from bottling up METROPOLIS, and then save KANDOR — the last remnant of his home planet, KRYPTON.

      Thirty years ago, in a distant galaxy, the planet Krypton was rocked by powerful earthquakes. Cities across the entire planet shook and swayed. In the gleaming city of Kandor, buildings trembled. People screamed. Fire and smoke poured through cracks in the streets.

      Hax-Ur and Zan, two men from Kandor, jumped into a flyer pod. Their mission was to find Krypton’s most famous scientist, Jor-El. If anyone can explain these earthquakes, said Zan, Jor-El can.

      Jor-El, his scientist wife, Lara, and their infant son Kal-El lived in Kryptonopolis, the capital city of Krypton. Hax-Ur typed the city’s location into the flyer’s control panel. If Jor-El cannot help us, then Kandor is doomed, he said.
