Action Comics #878 - DC


Well, it appears that there's a lot more Kryptonians still running around on Earth than we originally thought. Thara Ak-Var has been recuperating in Lois' apartment, while Chris, K'Riss, went back to the fortress to get their Nightwing & Flamebird uniforms. However, Ursa was still there so K'Riss had to fight her. And, upon leaving, he was followed by some UAV's. He took care of them, but that doesn't sit to well with General Lane. He's also not to happy about the body that Ursa left behind there, David Carter. Although he's a little relieved to find out that he was actually a Kryptonian sleeper-agent. Not necessarily that he was an agent, but . . "Kryptonians killing Kryptonians. Certainly makes our job easier." We also see these 2 nut-jobs, Nadira and Az-Rel. They seem to be sleeper-agents also, who have just discovered their powers. So they're out making mayhem all over the south-west because . . well, just because they can. I'm not sure if they're purposefully being psychopathic, or they're just not concerned about the peripheral damage left in the use of their power. Personally . . I just think they're psychopathic. Anyways, Thara and K'Riss go after them, but . . by the time they arrive General Lane also has some . . well, I guess they're people, there also. Greg Rucka writes this story. It's interesting, but I'm just not sure where we're going with all of this. However, I do like to see that Lois is starting to put some of the pieces together. I wonder what she's going to think when she finds out that her sister is dead? Diego Olmos does the art for this issue. It's ok. It's not fantastic, but . . it works. Overall I enjoyed the story, it just seems to be coming together kind of slow. But, the World of New Krypton is set up to be a 15 issue series, so . . I guess they have to stretch the story out to coincide with that. Apparently we have another year until Superman comes back to Earth. Do you think he can stay away from Lois for that long?
