Kal-Elf, The New Imp, To Debut In Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #4

Kal-Elf, The New Fifth Dimensional Imp, To Debut In Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #4 from W Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo

Kryptonite Superman #1 was the only DC Comics title to appear in the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List this past week. Writer W Maxwell Prince posted to Instagram, saying "A big thank you to everyone who read our first Superman issue. Issues 2 and 3 come next. And then, on account of how numbers tend to work, Issue 4 releases (in November.) And now that its cover is live for the world to see, I can say: Hey, Issue 4 features the debut of an all-new character. From the 5th Dimension. Superman's very own Bat-Mite: KAL-ELF. He's v cute and v powerful. Herewith the main cover by @martinmorazzo and @chris_o_halloran , @martinmorazzo character design, variants by @mikechoiart and @jeferreyra …" This is Super-Mite via Ice Cream Man…

"…and my early concept sketch for the little guy, which was just a small Superman with two safety pins on his underwear. Thank Rao for Martín. See ya next month for Issue 2 and its own canonical debut: Cobalt Kryptonite."
