Ok, this issue wraps up the 3rd Kryptonian story-line. The thing that gets me though, is that now we actually have 6 Kryptonians on Earth now. You know . . I take that back . . . it's 7, with the addition of the new Superman from the Kingdom Come universe. That's the story-line that's taking place over in Justice Society right now. But anyways, we have Superman, Powergirl, Supergirl, Chris, Krypto and Karsta Wor-Ul. But, Karsta seems to be the only one that doesn't have a hero gene. Which I don't understand because she was in the Kryptonian Navy. So she obviously knows what service and duty means. But when Amalak attacks, all she's worried about is her exit strategy. That didn't seem very "Kryptonian" to me. However, when worse came to worse, and Amalak had everybody pretty much on the ropes in the fortress, she did come back to provide the deciding factor. So I guess there is something to be said for blood and all. My only question about all this is, will we ever see one of those Son of Superman / Son of Batman story-lines like we used to see all those years ago in World's Finest? Since we have Chris and Damian now. Just an idea. But overall I thought it was a nice story. Of course they capture Amalak. But now they have the mystery of Kandor to unravel. And, if Karsta could survive all these years, whose to say that one of the other service people that she started out with didn't make it also? They might be roaming around out there someplace. Great effort by Kurt Busiek and Rick Leonardi. Now we just need to wrap up the Arion storyline.
