Superman Family Adventures #1 is written by Art Baltazar
& Franco, with art by Art Baltazar.
Superman, with help from Supergirl, Superboy and Krypto
battles three robots wreaking havoc in Metropolis. Superman discovers that the robots are
controlled by Lex Luthor. Luthor intends
to use the robots to zap Superman with a ray that will transfer Superman’s
powers to Luthor. However, Krypto
intercepts the ray, and Luthor gains not only Krypto’s powers but some of his
dog personality. With the aid of Luthor’s
pet mouse Fuzzy (who also received some of Krypto’s powers and intelligence),
the Superman Family defeats Luthor and removes his powers. However, Fuzzy is allowed to keep his powers
as a reward for his help and he becomes a super-pet.
Art Baltazar and Franco come to this new all-ages title
fresh off the success of Tiny Titans, and this series is very much in the same
vein. I’m glad DC continues to invest in
titles that are friendly for younger readers, and I think there should always
be a Superman book that is young reader friendly. The humor will appeal to older readers as
well, and I look forward to reading this title month after month.
