DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of Dog Days of Summer #1 — specifically, the Superman/Krypto story from Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, and Cully Hamner with colorist Dave McCaig. In the oversized one-shot, which will be released next week, the heroes of the DC Universe team up with their super-pets to take on a variety of threats. Also, Killer Croc is in it. You can see the preview pages in the attached image gallery, and the official solicitation text below.
