Personally . . I think General Lane has made a mistake this issue. First Supergirl has led Mon El on a merry chase, only to walk into a trap with Nightwing & Flamebird. They beat the snot out of him, but it's not really them. Actually it's Mirabai, Reactron and Metallo. Apparently Mirabai is some kind of magical being, from a magical dimension, that has struck a deal with General Lane. All we know right now is that she's agreed to help him as long as he helps her. I have a feeling that arrangement is going to become stressed. I'm sure the General is more concerned about his own agenda than that of Mirabai's. Anyways, they get the whole smack-down on video as it happens in the sewers of Metropolis. Then they also have a bomb planted there. The General's accomplices escape, but leave Mon El there as the bomb explodes. They're trying to make the whole thing look like it was done by Kryptonian terrorists. Meanwhile, Superman has been chasing Ral-Dar as he flies towards Markovia. While in the General's base, he convinced him that the President was going to Markovia to sign a war-treaty and make plans to attack New Krypton. As Superman wrestles with him in the air directly over the air-base, Ral-Dar tells him this. Superman probably could've de-escalated this, but . . then General Lane and his anti-Krypton army show up. They try to blast him out of the sky, but now Superman has to return to Krypton because Ral-Dar is seriously hurt. Plus, he's called back by Alura. But this is where I think the General made his mistake. He shouldn't have shown his hand yet. Up till now he's still been working behind the scenes. Now however, he's drawn the attention of Superman, the world and more importantly his daughter . . Lois. As Superman flies through the atmosphere, he picks up transmissions from the satellites. They're all mostly speculation about what this was all about. Right now it appears to be all bad . . for the Kryptonians. I think James Robinson is doing a great job with this story. You can feel Superman's frustration. Also Renato Guedes art is finally starting to grow on me . . after all this time. I thought overall it was a great installment of this Codename: Patriot story-line. I like it when all the Superman books work together like this.
