Action Comics #853 - DC


As I said last issue, I honestly think that the Brad Walker is getting better and better with every issue. He's still not . . . . perfect . . . but he's on his way. This is part 2 of our Kryptonite Man story from last issue. Somehow, I don't get this part of the story, but somehow a gorilla that they also tested this Kryptonite radiation on, ended up at the zoo. Well while the drama was going on with the Kryptonite Man at the prison, apparently somehow they are connected because when he got upset, so to did the gorilla at the zoo. His Kryptonite radiation kicked in, and he killed all the other gorilla's with varying amounts of radiation. When he broke out of the zoo, he homed in on the Kryptonite man and breaks him out of jail. Meanwhile Jimmy just happens to be at the prison at the same time, because as Mr. Action he has captured the Exomorphic Man. One thing leads to another, the Kryptonite man has gone to Rydertech. He was given some information in prison on the unternet, and is trying to bargain his talents away for some research funding and a lab. Jimmy and Clark are on their way to the jail to check out the break-out, but along the way Jimmy runs in to one of the researches from Rydertech. He tells Jimmy what's going on so he can get help for his colleagues. Well of course Mr Action goes there on his own. He puts up a valiant fight, but gets his butt handed to him. The Kryptonite man doesn't kill him though, he throws him in a storage closet, because he wants to experiment on him later. Meanwhile Superman shows up, with a polymer suit on to protect him from the radiation. But, being a scientist, the Kryptonite Man figures out it's weakness and melts it off of him. And while in the closet Jimmy has made a makeshift signal watch. He turns it on, cranks up the frequency . . . and Krypto arrives. Not the help Jimmy was counting on. But next issue we'll see how they all get out of this mess.
