Alas Poor Krypto

He'll come back

[JediJaida]

This is an old comic, isn't it?

[StrangeVisitor]

Is that the Black Terror's dog?

Krypto is a horribly dated concept. Even as a child I thought he was lame. I guess he has his fans, and that's fine. I just never understood the appeal of a Kryptonian dog.

^^^
it appears that the current powers that be at DC are feeling the same way.

It's fine if they are doing away with the concept in the DCU monthlies. I'm just a bit wary of them going the Miracledog route. At that point I think Alan Moore would have a legitimate gripe about them picking through the refuse bins of his imagination.



At least Krypto is still around in the Tiny Titans/Super Pets universe. It really is a kid friendly concept.

I like Krypto. I think he's cute. The concept is really out there for sure. I can accept it though. I have a problem with them adding the cat, the horse, and the monkey. Then it's just too much.

My kids love Krypto. I've got no problem with the concept.

I think Paul Dini and co did a good job on the cartoon for the younger kids that are probably too young for even brave and bold. Ace the Bathound teamed with Streaky was a fun episode.

He'll be back, DC can't ever make it's mind up about what it wants to be.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see him back in Morrison's Action Comics.

I'm with you completely on everything you just wrote. I think the Jimmy Olsen stories are kind of trite, too, but don't think they should do away with the kid. I guess I'm saying I feel Krypto is about as important as Jimmy Olsen to the Superman mythos or Bat-Mite would be to Batman. They're nice in extremely small quantities.

AW YEAH KRYPTO!
