This looks pretty good. Although we've all seen it before, with some villain posing as a good guy, the good guy being brainwashed by the villain, or an evil clone of the hero done before. Seriously, some of the people in the comic world should catch on to this.

Looks really good. I hope they can keep the artist long term on this title.

Wow.

Took me 4 years to finally do it.

But I decided not to pick up this issue.

Did I miss much?

This was the first book I read this week. I thought it was decidedly better than the first several issues. Having Supergirl involves helps a lot.

Pretty good though the art looks like Pere Perez aping the Kuberts.

I am simply not enjoying it as much anymore.

I am still loving supermon, world of New K and will get worlds finest.

If this week's superman is crap i will replace it with Action comics again:biggrin: .

The last superman issue which tied into codename patriot was awesome. But the issue before that was terrible.

I like the Captain Atom story in the back. I hope they'll make an on going series and put these shorts in the graphic novel, rather than in the Action Comics novel.

I like how they're going to start going back into the Monarch story. I want to see what happened.

I really enjoyed the Captain Atom episode in this issue. My guess at this point is that the world that Captain Atom is in is Mirabai's world, and that General Lane and the US Government are helping Mirabai dominate her homeland. Any other guesses?

Yeah, I'm suspecting the same thing. This misterious "Folourn" character has been identified as a female. The relocation of Project 7734 into Mirabai's world seems to help this theory. Mirabai and Lane's dialogue in the end of Codename: Patriot seems to point towards this.

Way I see it, Lane wants to install Mirabai as the ruler of that world, or at least part of it. In exchange, Mirabai will call upon armies of magical warriors to help against the Kryptonians. Captain Atom is the Folourn's Arrow.

I really would like to see a Captain Atom/Superman clash.
