It seems to be a graphic novel collection of classic Kandor comics and is currently shipping. I must have missed the announcement for this one, I wonder which stories are in it:

hahahaha, thats terrible Title: Re: Kandor kollection Post by: Great Rao on October 26, 2007, 09:14:14 PM Let my people grow??? :D hahahaha, thats terrible I think it's a great move. Looks like the collection does an excellent job of covering the entire saga of Kandor, from beginning to end. Kudos to whomever chose these tales.

Post by: carmine on October 28, 2007, 03:14:35 PM When DC comes out with these collected superman books they always put a "modern age" superman story which always stinks (daily planet, superman vs lex luthor) you realize just how poorly those post-crisis stories aged and how hard it is to read a single issue from that time period.
These kandorian stories look pretty good and thankfully their really wasn't a post-crisis kandor (well not really anyways) that can be shoe horned into this collection. Now how about Superman: Phantom Zone Phun!. a collection of supes adventures with the phantom zone (or even better a tpb of steve gerbers phantom zone stories) |
