Synopsis for "The Dark Side, Part 1"
Darkseid and Yuga Khan seek to dominate Krypton, a nearby planet that reminds them a lot of New Genesis. Jor-El was at work with his brother Zor-El as Darkseid and his father Yuga Khan appeared through a Boom Tube, declaring Krypton property of the Royal family of Apokolips. Superman; the champion of earth sent down to earth from Krypton to defend it flew to his home to combat Darkseid. Yuga Khan steps forth to combat Superman but Darkseid rejects this, saying that he must let him handle this by himself. Superman soon learns that Darkseid is not the conventional earthly villain he is used to. Darkseid repeatedly hit Superman with Omega Beams until he knelt onto the ground, defeated. Mister Miracle makes an appearance among those gathered to defend Krypton, he fights and destroys the Parademons.

When all is settled and Darkseid and Khan return to Apokolips, a man named Van-El, the mayor of Kandor talks with a shaded figure. He complains that his city could have been destroyed if Darkseid had fought in the area. The shaded figure tells him that with Kandor under his care, it will never be harmed. Van-El gives Kandor to this figure. The story ends with many citizens rushing towards the city for protection as a large skull ship with many tentacles attatched to it deploys a barrier around it and shrinks it, carrying the bottled city away,
