Superman (669) Who is the Third Kryptonian?, written by Kurt Busiek

Okay, folks, grab your capes and hold on tight because we're diving into the universe of Superman (669): Who is the Third Kryptonian? here by the legendary Kurt Busiek. Spoiler alert: Kryptonite is still a no-no, and yes, we're still grappling with the question of whether Clark Kent could ever really just let loose and enjoy a day at the beach without being summoned to save the world.

So, let's set the stage: we've got our beloved Man of Steel, Superman, who's pretty much a one-man army. He's strong, he's fast, and he can fly faster than your internet connection when you're trying to stream the latest superhero movie. But wait! What's this? There's a third Kryptonian on the scene! I mean, who doesn't love a bit of family drama that doesn't involve any awkward Thanksgiving dinners?

As we dive into this thrilling issue, the plot thickens! Superman encounters two other Kryptonians who are just as confused about being here as the rest of us. The first is Kryptonian lore being dragged into the mix, and several familiar faces pop up just to confuse things further. Because why have one complex narrative when you can have three? It's like a family reunion where you end up wondering if you got stuck in the wrong movie!

Now, let's talk about the Third Kryptonian. Who could it be? A lost relative? A distant cousin who crashed on Earth and has been binge-watching "The Big Bang Theory"? Or perhaps it's just someone looking to cash in on that sweet, sweet Kryptonian fame? Well, buckle up, because this character adds a twist that's juicier than a slice of watermelon in mid-July.

As Superman flexes his muscles (the ones he doesn't use just for show), we witness epic battles and some serious existential crises. It's like watching someone go through their midlife crisis while also fighting supervillains. "To be Kryptonian or not to be, that is the question." Just your average day in the life of Clark Kent, am I right?

Throughout this comic, Kurt Busiek delivers the drama and action we all crave. This issue isn't just throwing punches-oh no-it's also exploring what it means to belong. What does identity even mean when you're from a planet that exploded? Heavy stuff, people!

But human-like dilemmas aside, we know Superman will always rise above. Yet still, in this issue, you can't help but ponder: Is being super actually super? Or is it merely a way to avoid your true feelings about your parents? Because you can't tell me that with all that superpower comes a little bit of super therapy.

So there you have it! A glimpse into the world of Superman in Who is the Third Kryptonian? No spoilers here (unless you count the fact that Superman still likes, you know, saving the day), but get ready for some superhero antics alongside a sprinkle of existential crisis that makes you ponder your own life choices.

Now, go forth, grab that comic (if you want) and enjoy the latest addition to the Superman saga! And remember, even the strongest among us can be a bit of a drama queen.
