    I'll admit I'm biased when it comes to Krypto stories but this book really is fantastic. The art is incredibly emotional and the lettering approach is brilliant. A superb first issue with a potential of only getting better as the series unfolds. Read Full Review

    KPB Comics - Neil King Jun 19, 2025

    Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 is a genuinely charming and surprisingly touching read. It's a testament to North and Norton's talent that they can take a character often seen as a comedic sidekick and give him such depth and heart. It's a reminder that even the most powerful heroes need a best friend, especially one with a wagging tail and heat vision! Read Full Review

    AIPT - Collier Jennings Jun 18, 2025

    Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 begins a unique miniseries that aims to flesh out the life of its titular canine. Is a comic about Superman's dog a little ridiculous? It might sound that way, but this comic's got more than enough heart to keep you hooked. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jun 18, 2025

    This issue got off to a slightly slow start, but it has a great central concept. And of course, how could anyone dislike a comic that has a dog as loyal and friendly as Krypto at its heart? Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Jun 18, 2025

    Norton's storytelling is so good you don't need any dialogue or caption boxes. As a matter of fact, the dialogue actually distracts from the story in Krypto #1. North's script totally misses the emotions and urgency of Lara and Jor-El, their speech is too common and every day, and far too normal sounding to be believable as Superman's parents. The choice to use Lex in Krypto's tale is a bad omen for the direction of this series. Read Full Review
