Line 6:
The storyline comes directly on the heels of the ''Brainiac'' arc, but has roots in the ''Last Son'' story by Geoff Johns and [[Superman (film)|Superman]] director Richard Donner.
 
Continuing from the end of ''Brainiac'' the story revolves around the Bottle City of Kandor becoming just the City of Kandor, having been finally unshrunk, and it'sits 100,000 inhabitants freed from captivity. The resulting chaos and mistrust stemming from thousands of beings as strong as Superman now existing on Earth culminates in the the murder of Supergirl's father, Zor-El. His wife, Alura, believing that there is no place for her people on Earth, encases the city in a protective dome and launches it into space, using Kryptonian technology to form the planet "New Krypton" on the other side of the solar system. All Kryptonians except Superman are banned from Earth and Alura releases [[General Ripper|General Zod]] to head up the defense of their people. On Earth, Sam Lane, the father of [[Lois Lane]], reappears, having previously faked his death to go underground and prepare for a day when humanity might need to oppose Superman.
 
From there, each title in the series goes in it'sits own direction within the overall arc:
 
* ''World of New Krypton:'' Features Superman moving to New Krypton as a commander in their defense force, navigating the politics of both an interstellar cold war, as well as the rigid Kryptonian caste system.
