What’s truly at the end of the rainbow? We can’t be certain, but we’re pretty sure it ain’t a pot of gold! Up to now it’s been a peculiar, polychromatic pilgrimage for Superman: he’s lost track of time under the influence of Purple Kryptonite, grown to skyscraper size via Cobalt K, revisited his adolescence by way of Speckled K, and traveled to the fifth dimension using a “key†carved of Rainbow Rock. Now, in this final issue, the chickens have come home to roost—and so, too, has Kal-El. Back in Metropolis, the Man of Tomorrow must stand face-to-face with the Man of Today…and decide for himself, finally, whether Lex is rig more

The Aspiring Kryptonian - Tyrone Tony Reed Jr
Dec 17, 2025Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5 is a great ending to a series that has been spot on from the beginning. The ending was a great pay off from the strong Book I's opening issue. It's a great end to the Spectrum tests and hopefully a doorway to a follow up in the very near future. Read Full Review

KPB Comics - Phillip Creary
Dec 22, 2025The Kryptonite Spectrum #5 is a masterful example of a Black Label story. It takes the toys out of the sandbox and breaks them in ways that feel meaningful. It's a story about a man losing his life to his heritage but finding peace in his community. Read Full Review

AIPT - Marvel Maximus
Dec 17, 2025'Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum' #5 interrogates what home is, where to find it, and its dangers, all in a heightened Silver Age style. It goes to show that a Superman would have a super-attachment to his origin. Almost a worthy spiritual successor to All-Star Superman, its modest length stops it short of reaching the same heights. Like Krypton, the comic's lifespan ends prematurely. But at least it ends with a bang. Read Full Review
