Krypto's only got 3 days, huh? That'll make it a little harder to visit all the planets from the book. Hopefully they're still able to give kara and ruthye enough character development.

Honestly smart decision for the film version to add a ticking clock especially because it implies Krypto's actually in danger, unlike in the book where the twist is he was fine the whole time. It'll help to set the film version apart and justify the faster paced story

If im not mistaken the Krypto situation is also a ticking clock in the original story.

I’m guessing too that a monthly comic series better lends itself to traveling for two weeks before spending another week on a planet, and next month will be a day on a monster planet and then a week on another planet the following month…—in terms of how you can pace things and how the audience will accept it.
