  1. Think of this as Act One in the greater story of New Krypton.  I’ve actually seen later solicits reference "New Krypton part 7."  For that number to work you need to include the Brainiac arc books into the New Krypton line.  It’s all one big story.  This is just the opening chapter. 

  2. I love the cover. 

  3. Sure.  I’m not saying I hate this book at all, I love it, but after this issue I realized I was putting unneeded expectations on it and unfairly comparing it to SCW for the wrong reasons.

  4. This was a good issue, and I think this whole New Krypton thing is going to be insane.  I think Paul is right in that this is the opening salvo of the bigger arc, but it’s also good that you stopped piling such hefty expectations on it.

  5. As a born again comic enthusiast ( I took a career sabbatical for a while from reading comics) I love Action Comics -especially the Brainiac arc. Its a simple story yet with its big moments. The art is awesome. There is humor. And there is a definitely empathy with Kal and Kara. Unlike the other event books I am reading where the story is so huge and convoluted and hard to tie together, this one is big yet very small. This rocks and I am hoping the New Krypton arc coming up takes off from this.

  6. @Paul  Unless it crosses over with Superman and Supergirl.  It could be a cross-book arc.

  7. @Paul – In November (I believe), Action, Superman, and Supergirl start receive the fun little triangles as they all cross-over.  There is also a couple of one-shots that are part of the New Krypton story as well.
