Superman: The Last Son of Krypton Page #4

---

- I am Jor-EI.

- And I am Lara.

We are your parents.

By the time you see this, our world will

have been gone for many years.

You are the sole survivor of Krypton...

...a planet similar to Earth in many ways.

This was our home.

No. No, it can't be true.

- It's hurting him.

- Let him be, Martha.

You may have discovered that you are

much stronger and faster...

...than a normal human being.

I am a normal human being!

Your Kryptonian body draws its strength

from Earth's yellow sun.

It will give you abilities

that no other human has.

I don't believe any of this.

Some people will fear you,

perhaps even try to destroy you.

Despite this, you must never

use your powers in anger.

Be brave, my son.

Remember who you are and the legacy

you carry inside you.

We love you, Kal-EI. Always.

It's not true.

I'm not a freak. I'm not.

I'm not!

Clark!

Clark, come back!

Yes!

Oh, yeah!

Ma! Pa!

Oh, Clark!

It's okay.

Metropolis can boast

of many amazing sights:

The country's biggest bridge.

The world's tallest building.

But now it may have its most

astonishing sight: a guardian angel.

Just ask little Danitra Evans.

She saw him.

I was fooling around the window

when I lost my balance and fell.

Suddenly this big blue angel with

red wings came down and caught me.

He put me on the ground

and flew away.

You should've heard my mommy scream.

This is where they found Danitra,

and that's where she fell from.

Thirty floors up. If it wasn 't an angel

that saved her, what was it?

Friendly pigeons.

What's the matter?

Don't believe in angels?

It's TV, boys, just a trumped-up story

to boost ratings.

And maybe sell some papers?

Chief, I spent a week on the docks

with rats and frizzed hair...

...exposing the biggest gun-smuggling ring

in 10 years...

...and what makes the front page?

Some sprouty, New Age,

granola-crunching fluff piece on angels.

- What's next? Interviews with Bigfoot?

- Good timing, Lois.

I want you to be the first to know

I'm hiring a new guy on the city desk.

Is he cute?

- You tell me.

- Oh, hi.

- Hello.

- This is the guy, Lois.

- Clark Kent from Smallville.

- Smallville? Never heard of it.

- Have you ever been to Kansas?

- God, no.

I've been reading his stuff. It's good.

I thought maybe he could tag along

with you to get the lay of the land.

I'd love to play den mother, but I got

that Lexcorp story in half an hour.

Oh, yeah. The great and benevolent

Mr. Luthor...

...is demonstrating

a new weapons system today.

Lex is Lois' beat,

but I'm sure she won't mind...

...having another set

of eyes with her. Right, Lois?

Smallville, nothing against you, but

even as a kid I never liked babysitting.
