Minor spoiler review:  Fits neatly between ZH #'s 4 and 3.  The only
direct link to ZH is that Supergirl gets the recruitment message at
the beginning of the issue (although the issue's events are mentioned
in ZH 3).  Ok story, but not important to the overall Zero Hour 
storyline.

Summary w/ spoilers:

































(continued from both ZH #4 and S:MOS #37)

Not much to tell here, really.

At the beginning of the book, Supergirl gets Superman's recruitment
message, but she's busy trying to get rid of some time-displaced aliens.
Superman promptly shows up and quickly gets rid of them for her.

They land, and Lois tells Superman that his parents have been trying to 
reach him.  After some debate, (After all, he's just called all the
heroes of the world together.) he goes home to investigate.  His
biological parents, Jor-El and Lara, have come to retrieve him to a 
Krypton that didn't explode.  A scientist named Jen-Em saved Krypton
from the explosion, but the near disaster convinced the Kryptonians 
that they must let Nature reestablish itself. Lara becomes the first 
Kryptonian to become pregnant, and Kal has a brother, Zan-El (and a
nephew and niece, for that matter).

They want Superman to come, but he acknowledges that the Kents are
his parents in too many ways.  Plus, he has Zero Hour to return to.
The serum that allows the Els to leave Krypton begins to wear off, and
they must return.  Superman catches up and says that he'll visit.  Then
the capsule explodes in a temporal instability, killing his parents
again.  Superman drops by to tell Ma and Pa Kent he loves them and then
returns to ZH. 

(continues in ZH #3)

Interesting note:  Superman mentions that he knows Krypton exploded
because Hawkman took him there (in Superman #18, if I'm not mistaken.)
Now this was Tony Isabella's Shadow War Hawkman wasn't it?  So who
really took him?
