Its already been touched upon in the comments section, but having read the full article on Newsarama here I’m really excited about this story.

So after the current Brainiac arc (which has been excellent.  Another good sign for this upcoming story), Superman will rescue the city of Kandor from Brainiac, and its population moves to Earth.   You just know that’s not going to end well.

The teaser image introduces things in a really dramatic way.  Suddenly Earth is going to find itself with 100,000 new inhabitants, all with the powers of Superman.   However, the real kicker is that some of those inhabitants are members of Zod’s army, who were in Kandor when it was taken.  You can bet they’re not going to be well pleased when they find out what happened to the General.

There’s also the relationship between Superman and Supergirl.  She’s going to be pretty happy to be around her own people once again, and you get bet Superman’s going to feel more isolated than he ever has, as his human upbringing will invariably bring him into conflict with the other Kryptonians.

There’s plenty to be excited about in the preview image alone with new Kryptonian versions of Nightwing, Flamebird and Superwoman.

Granted, this means that the Superman titles are going to become one long crossover again (such as during the 90s) but I like Geoff Johns response that they’re going to make people want to buy all the issues, rather than forcing them.  Certainly this story looks like it could do the job.
