anyone dissin krypto needs to read the last superman story make believe issue (right at the end of the silver age bevfore they rebooted the DC characters) by alan moore (writer of watchmen, v for vendetta, LXG). krypto's self sacrifice gives the completely cornered superman a fighting chance when all was lost.
there was also a fun krypto scene in all star superman #6 where young clark and krypto play fetch with a tree trunk in space. i highly reccommend that series to you tim. grant morrison really has fun taking superman's powers to places most writers are too focused on plot to notice. it's silver age type stories with the edge of modern writing and art which is done in a fresh way giving superman the look of a goliath of a human and colors that play out the book and suit amazingly, especially when almost evry other artist gives superman the same eact look these days. it even won an eisner last year for best new series an wizard magazine gave it a ten out of ten when they rated the superman and batman titles. it was the only book to achieve a perfect rating. plus, the hardback's out so if you can't get your hands on the individual issues it's available. this is a book so fresh it even made th thousand times told predictable death of pa kent seem sad and shocking.
