    The Aspiring Kryptonian - David Beasley Jul 16, 2025

    North hits hard with Krypto: The Last Dog Of Krypton #2 and really makes me hate Lex in ways no other story has done before. The art is exemplary and is such a contrast in tone from issue #1 that it's impressive to think they're drawn by the same team. Read Full Review

    I love the seasonal motif to match the tone of the series and the passing of time. While not a "fun read, Krypto #2 is a powerful chapter in this soon to be evergreen series. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Lukas Shayo Jul 16, 2025

    This is not necessarily the greatest comic on the market, nor is it going to leave much of an impression on most readers. Still, it is fun for what it is, which is a somewhat ridiculous concept about Krypto the Superdog.Krypto the Last Dog of Krypton won't necessarily be winning any Eisners, but it is hard not to love a comic about a good-hearted dog who just wants to find his way in the world. Any dog lover will adore this book, and anyone who isn't already a dog lover isn't going to be picking it up in the first place. Read Full Review

    KPB Comics - Chris Hernandez Jul 17, 2025

    Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #2 is a surprisingly deep and emotionally resonant comic. It effectively establishes Lex Luthor's villainy early on and showcases Krypto's unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. However, its canonicity raises some questions. Krypto's lack of powers on Earth and Lex being his initial human interaction feel contrived, diminishing the potential for wonder. This issue might be better appreciated as an “Elseworlds” retelling of Krypto's origins. Read Full Review
