Krypto the Last Dog of Krypton five-issue mini-series

[Superwoman]

Here's another SUPER title recently announced by DC:

DC today announced a new five-issue DC All In comic book series, Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton by writer Ryan North and artist Mike Norton, as part of their “Summer of Superman” publishing plans. Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton is set to debut on June 18, 2025, and delivers a heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider: a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers.

“Krypto's origin has always been done at kind of a high level," said writer Ryan North. "The little guy starts out on Krypton, ends up on Earth, and helps Superman fight crime. The chance to really define Krypto—to show what a little lost dog would go through if he landed all alone on a strange alien world named Earth—was really enticing. And I also fell in love with the idea of treating Krypto as the actual dog he is: he doesn't talk, and we don't cheat by reading his thoughts in balloons either. Mike Norton’s art captures exactly what needs to be ‘said’ in every scene. Krypto tells us who he is and how he's feeling like all dogs do: through his expressions and behaviour, through body language and barks and snuggles and licks and sighs. Dogs are some of the most expressive animals, and we absolutely love them, and I wanted to tell a story that really captured and honoured these animals—Krypto in particular."

“I’m always ready for drawing more dogs in comics,” added artist Mike Norton. “Krypto is dream project!”
