I just don’t [del]read at the stand[/del] buy comics like I used to, so I’ve fallen greviously behind in following the DC universe continuity (I gave up on Marvel long ago). I was wondering what’s the current state of Superman’s planet of origin? After the Infinity Crisis, the old Earth-1 version of Krypton was replaced by a version in which Krypton was a sterile hypertechnology planet. But then in one story arc Superman and Lois visited an “alternate” (??) version of Krypton through the Phantom Zone that was obviously based on the old version. What was the deal with that? Secondly, after considerable convolutions and retconning we now have a (version of) Supergirl who supposedly came from (a version of) Krypton. Has DC backpedaled from the verison of Krypton that was introduced immediately post-Crisis (along with such embarrassments as the 80s version of Hawkman)? And finally, what’s new since the Infinite Crisis, which I haven’t had the chance to follow?
