Action Comics #883 - DC

I thought this was an interesting issue. In it we find that Jax-Ur has been hiding among the humans . . another of Zod's sleeper agents. But Jax-Ur seems to be in the place where he can do the most damage, and access the most technology . . STAR Labs. He been hiding as a Dr Pillings at STAR, while working with Dr Hoshi, Doctor Light. This issue Toronto is attacked by some form, or forms, of Brimstone. Apparently there was some type of seedpod that was triggered and it deployed these Brimstone type characters. They don't know where it came from, or who sent it, but . . it's now in the hands of STAR Labs, and Drs Pillings and Hoshi. Nightwing and Flamebird were on the scene to help save the city, but . . after the attack, everything is blamed on them. And they're still on the search for some of the Kryptonian sleeper agents . . Jax-Ur, Quex-Ul and Car-Vex. There's also something that happens between them. They're talking about their beliefs in the actual Nightwing and Flamebird . . something happens to Chris. It appears that something has triggered in him. He begins to glow and vibrate the building apart. But . . we aren't going to find out what that is until next issue. Meanwhile, Perry has been put on the trail of Jimmy. A recent flame of Jimmy's, Isabel Glenn, has come to the Planet looking for him. He's been missing for quite a while now. Perry listens and ends up in Jimmy's apartment looking for clues. He finds a paper behind a picture that says . .'N/EO JSEO' . . whatever that means. But now Perry's got the scent. You know he's not going to give up until he figures out what's going on. Oh wait . . I finally figured out what the last page means. Dr Hoshi has brought this decrepit old man to Dr Pillings claiming, ' . . before this 18 year old boy dies of old age . . we really need your help.' I didn't understand what it was at first, but . . it's Chris. Apparently he's taken another age leap. This time straight to senior citizenry. I didn't understand that the first time I read it. So Chris and Thara have been delivered straight to Jax-Ur. That can't be good. I thought this was an interesting issue by Greg Rucka, Eric Trautmann and Pere Perez. Not one of the best, but . . it does serve to progress the story. In the back-up, we find Captain Atom face to face with Major Force. Apparently Force has been ordered to bring him back. And by bring him back, we mean back to our Earth . . to General Lane and project 7734. Upon return, he's met with an army of men with weapons designed to contain him. But when they try . . someone interferes. It appears that Mon El is back. Also, it appears that Natasha's undercover assignment may have been compromised. Another great chapter by James Robinson, Greg Rucka and Cafu.
