LinkSuperman’s origin as the last son of Krypton transplanted to Smallville is now a familiar one, retold many times during the past several decades, on the big screen, the small screen, radio and in the pages of comics.
In the Moses-like tale, Jor-El, a scientist on the planet Krypton, rockets his infant son Kal-El to Earth moments before the planet explodes. Light years away in Smallville, Kan., John and Martha Kent find a baby in a farm field, name him Clark and raise him as their son.
But “Superman” No. 0, written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Kenneth Rocafort, shows a previously untold segment in this origin story. The issue follows his father, Jor-El, as he learns the truth about Krypton’s imminent destruction.
Hero Complex readers get a sneak peek at the first six pages of the comic, which hits stores Wednesday. Check out the “Superman” No. o preview in the gallery above, or view larger images using the links below.

Art looks amazing, but Lobdell is such a mediocre writer.
Hopefully his run on Superman will be better than everything else he's ever written.
I'm hooked! Love the space opera, larger than life, myth and legend vibe this preview has. And the art is gorgeous!
I've stopped reading DC after 40 years. I just can't take all the retellings of origins over and over and over.
