Superman: World of New Krypton #11 - DC

I'm just not sure what to make of all this double-dealing, and manipulation. I mean . . we all knew eventually Zod was going to show his hand. I thought it was all just a little to convenient how he was taken out of action right when the political climate of New Krypton started heating up. Plus, he gained the sympathy of it's citizens after someone attempted to assassinate him. Now, after Mar-Li, the council members death last issue . . someone takes a shot at Alura this issue . . literally. But instead they end up shooting her aide, Lyra. But it's still enough to warrant an investigation, and right now . . it appears that everything seems to be pointing to a member of the Labor Guild, Tam-Or. A little to conveniently, actually. With Adam Strange's help, and experience, Kal-El learns that it's probably not Tam-Or who committed this act. If for no other reason than that every single thing seems to be pointing at him. In the process of trying to clear Tam-Or's name, Kal-El learns about a secret military base commissioned by Zod himself. In it . . they seem to be collecting and experimenting on aliens. Kal-El, the current leader of the Military Guild, knew nothing of this. And he probably won't learn anything else. It appears that at Commandor Gor's advice, Kal-El was followed to this base. And, since only moments before, Zod has re-assumed command of the Military . . 'You've been demoted. And General Zod's policy towards traitors is very clear . . they're to be executed on sight. Red Sun off! Switch to kinetics! Ready . . Aim . . FIRE!'. Which leaves us with a very interesting turn of events for the final issue. James Robinson, Greg Rucka and Pete Woods have done a terrific job with this series. But don't fear. There's no way they could wrap up this story in only one more issue. Immediately following this series will be the Last Stand of New Krypton mini . . it'll be 3 issues. It's also by James and Pete with Sterling Gates. Brainiac has come to New Krypton, and . . he plans on destroying it. It also includes the Legion of Super-heroes. That should be fun!
