Hi Virginia,
My, my but you have a good memory!
Yes, we will be seeing my idea of the circumstances behind the baby from "Family Hour". It is radically different from the story Pat posted last year.
As to Volume 7 it is in process. Again there will be universe hopping and plenty of adventure. There are just some things that Never do change though. Even with super powers Lois doesn't look before she leaps as evidenced just a few chapters ago. I wonder what will happen to her the next time she does that.
RE: types of Kryptonite - there are different colors although I plan to stick with L&C rather than Smallville. The types are determined by the minerology. A sample that started as a granite sample is weaker than a sample that started as a crystalline form like quartz. I may come up with a chart of sorts.
