    This is another one of those comics that’s going to have a different cover than the one pictured here.

    Still not totally sure why they decided to ditch these costumes in favour of something that looks more like flying robots.

    @kthx – They’re trying to disguise themselves as humans with jet packs and not Kryptonians with natural flight ability.  

    I love the hell out of this book.

    This is way better then what the got going on in the Superman title! I officially dropped Superman, but I’m gonna keep on reading this one!

    Ok, I have a theory, and this seemed to be the best place to put it.  After reading the Brainiac story again, I noticed a line where Supergirl says something about how Clark doesn’t miss Krypton the way she does.  I think this whole storyline is setting up the destruction of New Krypton at the hands of Luthor (via an unstoppable Doomsday army or something).  That’ll give Superman a true feeling of loss for his homeworld for the first time post-Crisis, plus it’ll make Luthor a bad@$$ again, since he hasn’t really done anything since Up, Up and Away.

    Fantastic issue.  POTW hands down.  Barrows is turning in some amazing work.  In just two issues this has become my favorite Superman family book.

    "My disgusting, weak, mewling mutation of a son." Wow, Ursa is one bad female dog! AWESOME issue! I haven’t seen much of Eddie Barrows before but he is killing on this book so far.

    *Eddy Barrows.

    Just Googled his name & realised I have read a lot of books with his pencils. I have never noticed them looking this good before, though. Different inker or something?

    didn’t find this issue all that impressive until I realized that this issue was basically just a long fight scene, and it still felt very satisfying. I’m not sure if I’ve read anything else that’s been able to do that.

    I was really impressed with this issue. I wasn’t planning to pick this one up due to the bland showing last issue. Glad I did

    So we’re on the second issue of the new creative team and we get half the issue done by a fill-in artist?  I still enjoyed it, but that was lame.

    @TomO I didn’t even notice.

    Great issue. Not amazingly stellar plot-wise, but man great pathos for Ursa. Really interested to see where this goes. I loved the last page. I’m forecasting a Lois/Ursa throw down, Murray-style.

    I may have missed this in a prior series, but why does Ursa (and Zod and Non) have to wear those protective goggles?

    @ChristopherJohn – Her eyes have not adjusted back, after being in the Phantom Zone.

    That kryptonite knife is just sick. I can’t wait to see what other weapons the Kryptonians come up with to killeach other.

    @gnanniv – Thank you. I had a feeling it was related the Phantom Zone but wasn’t sure.

    Yeah dude, the Krypto-knife was awesome. Maybe the bloodiest Superman comic I’ve ever seen.

    For those of you that haven’t checked out ACTION yet, you’d better wake up and smell the coffee!  As a DCBS’er, I’m a little late to the party, but this issue rocked.  I really liked Chris’ defining who he is to Ursa /bio-mom; the layout for action sequences were STELLAR; and the writing for the cliff-hanger really powerful.  It’s still the frontrunner ve. GLC #35 (because I haven’t read it yet at this point….), but Rucka is knocking ACTION outta the park!  Who knew this ACTION without Superman could be so good?  Great issue!!
