Superman and Jon work on a science project he has at the Fortress of Solitude. He builds a flying saucer that for reasons unknown, forges with some of the crystals in the fortress, and takes off. Krypto tries to catch it and it explodes, transporting the 3 of them to a mysterious island with several world war 2 ship and tank wrecks.
A huge, shark like dinosaur suddenly swallows Superman, but some quick eye blasts soon has him being shot out of the monster's mouth. The trio then explore the island, finding several signs of the 70+ year old battle between US and Japanese forces. From above, they continue scouting, but are attacked by pterodactyls. Of course Krypto gets eaten by one of them, but kills the dino and they find him down below. They explore a little more and find more evidence of the preparations for a major military operation, culminating in Superman discovering their story written on a cave wall. What will the three of them do next? Guess we'll have to wait and see next issue.
This book was pure filler. I know it's being released bi-monthly and that's cool, but the stories are being pushed out so fast, they're not very good. I know it's supposed to be a family affair, and they need some small adventures together to press this Superboy type character, but shelling out 3 bucks for what looks like it was just hastily thrown out is kind of a downer. I give it a 5/10.
