Action Comics #843 - DC


You wondered if Superman could get any better? Well with Busiek, Nicieza and Woods at the creative helm, I wonder if it could get any better also! At the end of last issue, Superman was diving into the power core of the Auctioneer's processing center. Why? Because he's trying to free the hundreds of people that are captured and being held in stasis there. And, because he truly is a hero. Long story short, him and his team bust through the ship until they find something of importance to the Auctioneer, Ops, a form of digital data processing life. When Superman captures it, he opens up a barter line with the Auctioneer, which really is the only way to communicate with him. He trades everyone's, and earth's, freedom for all the information he has on board his ship. Livewire, one of the people on his team, is linked into every system on board and the threat is that she'll send all his important information out across the galaxy, unless he agrees to their terms. He does, and everything is put back to normal. In the days that follow though, Superman is bothered by 2 things he said. One that there was a third Kryptonian on the planet. And two that he was chasing a ship that was of great importance that was going to crash on earth. Where's this ship, where's it from, what's on it, and what will happen when it finally reaches earth. All question for next issue, because they aren't getting answered here.
