3An all-ages comic book about Franchise/{{Superman}}, his cousins Comicbook/{{Superboy}} and Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, and their pets Comicbook/KryptoTheSuperdog and Streaky the Super-Cat. Despite being published around the time of the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'', it's mostly [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Superman with a new belt.

5The comic lasted 12 issues and it has a follow-up series: ''Super Powers''.

8!!This series contains examples of:
9* AdaptationalVillainy: Here, Lor-Zod was raised by his villainous parents and works with them. In the mainstream comics he gets adopted by Superman and Lois Lane, renamed "Chris Kent" and becomes a superhero himself.
10* BackFromTheDead: Lara, though she wasn't dead in the first place; Jor-El managed to send her to the Phantom Zone before the destruction of Krypton.
11* CanonForeigner: Averted for Fuzzy the Supermouse. He was originally an obscure one-shot character from 1958's "Superboy" #65.
12* CompositeCharacter: Instead of a cyborg, this version of Metallo is like the Kryptonite Man with an armor that looks like the second Pre-Crisis Metallo.
13* CrushBlush: A male example; ComicBook/JimmyOlsen sometimes blushes when he's around Supergirl.
14* {{Expy}}: Streaky as shown in this comic is lazy and snarky like ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}.
15* LighterAndSofter: These comics are this for the Superman franchise.
16* MetronomicManMashing: In issue #11, Brainiac does this to both Superman and General Zod.
17* TheMole: Parodied when ComicBook/LexLuthor gets a job at the ''Daily Planet''.
18* MythologyGag: Lois sometimes calls Clark by the nick "Series/{{Smallville}}", like the Lois of the TV Series of the same name.
19* NeverMessWithGranny: Martha Kent can subdue ''anyone'', even Doomsday, just by yelling at them, slapping them, and grabbing them by the ear.
20* PassThePopcorn: In issue #2, Supergirl and the Teen Titans pass the popcorn while they watch Superman fighting Bizarro.
21* SecretSecretKeeper: While Lois doesn't know Superman's secret in the first few issues, later issues imply that she knows, but plays along.
22* SpinOff: Of ''Comicbook/TinyTitans''.
