Action Comics #882 - DC

Something is up with Lana, but . . we don't know what it is yet. Somehow she's informing on her friends to Squad K. That, or they're tracking her somehow. Anyways, General Lane puts Reactron on the Squad K team this issue. Much to the dismay of Colonel Hazard, the Squad's leader. But before they can argue about it to much, the Squad is called into action because Lois has shaken her surveillance. So the General thinks she's up to something. Actually, she's meeting with Chris and Lana. Like I said, I think they're tracking Lana somehow. When the Squad's ship arrives in Metropolis, they seem to know the general area where they're meeting, but no specifics. Unfortunately, Chris doesn't want to see either of them hurt so he rushes out to distract them. Kara and Thara also saw the ship, but it passed the apartment without even slowing down. So I'm guessing, since that's where Lana lives, she's there most of the time and that's not considered a target. I guess they don't even suspect that she would allow them to live in her home. Anyways, before Chris has a chance to engage them, Kara and Thara show up. They're all trying to be a little more restrained this time because they don't want to destroy Metropolis, like what was done in Paris. But that may be out of there hands because . . remember? Reactron is with them. They start to go after them, but before things can get to heated Chris gives up. I think he figures that if they go in quietly at least their story will be heard. Which it is, and Hazard is starting to wonder about Reactron. But before he can do anything Reactron fries him and kills him. Supposedly per the General's orders. All 3 of them are contained by red-sun chains, and the issue ends with Kara in Reactron's grip as he's getting ready to kill her. The conclusion is next week in Supergirl #46. I can't wait. Greg Rucka and Sterling Gates wrote this issue, with Pere Perez on the art. In the back-up, we find out that Natasha Irons is in Mirabai's land. She's been undercover with the Army trying to make contact with Captain Atom. Which she does this issue. She tries to fill him in on what's going on, both here, and back in the real world with General Lane. But the Captain has done a lot of terrible stuff under Mirabai's control, so the villagers don't see him as a patriot. One of them wants to kill him, and that's when Major Force shows up. That should make for an interesting story next issue. This part of the book was by James Robinson, Greg Rucka and Cafu. This was a nice action packed issue. The story moved rather quickly, and I'm glad we're getting near the end. But it's not necessarily the end of the World Against Superman story-line. No it's just the end of this chapter, the Hunt for Reactron. I have a feeling that General Lane's story, the story of Project 7734, is far from over. But it's keeping all the Superman books linked, which is a great way to move the story along. Personally, I think the Superman titles are best when they do that. Now we only have to wait a week for the next part of the story.
