Comic-Con 2018: Krypton -- Everything We Know So Far
<p><em>Krypton</em> follows the story of Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, long before Krypton is destroyed. Seg-El is trying to clear his name after the whole family is ostracized due to the actions of his own grandfather. After a grim conclusion to the first season, many fans are wondering how <em>Krypton</em> will turn things around. In preparation for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/comic-con/">Comic-Con</a> 2018, we're here to give you the skinny on everything we know about the upcoming second season.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>What It's About</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Season 1 left a ton of unfinished storylines for Season 2 to follow. Seg and Brainiac are both in the Phantom Zone, Adam is trapped in one of Brainiac's cities, which featured a concerning statue of Commander Dru-Zod, and Doomsday is on the loose--no big deal. So despite Syfy not releasing any major plot details, the Season 1 finale gives the writers plenty to work with.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Who's Who</strong></p><p dir="ltr"><em>Crew</em></p><ul><li dir="ltr">David S.
