Man this was a frustrating issue. Not frustrating from a readers perspective, but frustrating because of what General Lane, and this Project 7734 is putting Superman and the rest of the Kryptonians through. This storyline . . Codename: Patriot, it turns out that the Patriot . . the man willing to give up his own life, and freedom, to save them from the fall-out of a war between New Krypton and Earth . . it turns out the Patriot is actually Ral-Dar. He's the guy who tried to kill General Zod at the end of World of New Krypton #5. It seemed as if he was trying to escape to Earth, with Superman and Supergirl in hot pursuit, but . . it appears that he's actually playing a role . . the role that General Lane has given him to play. Also, we know the Lane has Atlas, Codename:Assassin, Reactron and Metallo in his arsenal. But what we didn't know is that apparently Morgan Edge is also part of this team . . it's media face. When the 3 of them approach Earth, the General notifies Edge, for the media coverage, and then sends up an unarmed squadron of fighter pilots to intercept them. The pictures speak for themselves, and they're pretty damning. The General is trying to sell it as an invasion of Earth. While Superman and Supergirl are trying to do everything in their power to minimize casualties. However, they play it that Mon-el interceded and stopped the loss of life. Also, Thara and Christopher are still looking for Nadira and Az-Rel. I don't think that the General realizes that they're also Kryptonian. As with the rest of the world, I believe he thinks they get their power from their suits. He lays a trap for them with Nadira and Az-Rel. They're actually Reactron and Metallo is disguise, but by their subterfuge they get the drop on Nightwing and Flamebird and take them out of the equation. But before that, Christopher actually shows his affection towards Thara this issue. This story was by Greg Rucka, James Robinson and art by Julian Lopez. All in all I thought it was a great issue. Like I said . . a bit frustrating. But . . it did make a lot of progress on the story-line. In the back-up, Nathaniel is trying to figure out who he is, and where he's at. He appears to be in mid-evil times, but he's in full Captain Atom garb. Of course the people see him as a threat, but really he's just trying to find the pieces of the puzzle. At the end though . . it seems as if he's in someone's sight. On this one, Cafu does the art. It looks fantastic.
