* HilariousInHindsight: One frequently mentioned Kryptonian city, the only CanonForeigner location in the story, is named Corril and is home to a bitter rival of Jor-El. In ''Series/{{Krypton}}'', Superman's grandfather Seg-El briefly considers calling Jor-El Cor-El.



* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: This version of Zod is one of the least sympathetic portrayals of the character. Still, many fans view him with less hostility than the selfish and arrogant councilors who (save for Cera-Si and Mauro-Ji, some of the time) ignore Jor-El's discoveries and are willing to make him TheScapegoat for the death of an alien ambassador.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Zod starts out the novel as a bureaucrat in charge of weighing whether to permit the use of new inventions rather than a general, which can inspire feelings of TheyChangedItNowItSucks. However, later in the book Zod gives himself the self-appointed rank of general, and does so in a pretty ominous and powerful scene, satisfying some readers.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
** Some fans dislike how Zod is a self-appointed general and not a real one.
** The omission of most of the Silver Age Phantom Zone prisoners is disappointing for fans who like the idea of the dimension being packed with all kinds of criminals and not just a dictator and his two minions.

* EndingFatigue: Many fans (although by no means all of them) feel frustrated that the events triggering Krypton's destruction don't occur during the climcatic battle to defeat Zod, but rather around 30 pages afterward, following a prolonged HopeSpot.

* JustHereForGodzilla: One big draw of the novel is how it's one of the first stories to feature both surviving Kryptonian cities: Argo City and Kandor. Even in the original comics, it's rare for them to show up at the same time.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Zod's follower No-Ton doesn't appear until around the halfway point of the book and doesn't have much prominence until the last tenth or so. Still, he might be the best-liked of the original characters for his HeelFaceTurn and how he takes Jor-El seriously about the danger to Krypton and responds in a surprisingly proactive way.
* HesJustHiding: Gal-Eth and Or-Om aren't directly mentioned as being present in or outside of Kryptonopolis during the destruction of Krypton, leaving some room to hope that they may have gone to Argo City (which survives the cataclysm) after seeing how its shields protected it from Zod's army.
