Superman #691
It's a slam-bang, knockdown epic fight in the sewers of Metropolis in this fourth and final chapter of "Codename: Patriot"! What are the stakes, and who are the players? Everything and everyone, Superfans! Except one key player is missing - Superman! He has to stop the shooter from taking yet another course of action that would cause the situation between Earth and New Krypton to grow exponentially worse. Which, of course, is just what General Lane wants...

@cutty - Seconded.
I don't really know why I'm buying this. The crossover is putting me to sleep. I guess I'm hoping Black Lantern Kal-L will simply show up and eat everyone's heart to make this worth my $2.99. I think the primary problem I have with the crossover is that it is supposed to be tense (I think) and there is supposed to this underlying threat, but I'm not feeling the threat enough to feel the tension (or don't understand what is happening well enough to decipher the magnitude of the threat).

oh and right after this
Posted by oldmanlogan88 on 08/24/09 at 05:00 PM
It's Action and Supergirl? That's great, because I want to drop both. Just made my day.

Looking forward to this. It's been a fun ride on the new status quo so far.

I'm curious but not enthused.

If this wasn't only $3, I wouldn't even buy it.

@PraxJarvin Glad to see someone else embracing the new status Quo. I can only imagine what the big event for next year is going to be as they keep saying it will be the year of Superman.

So General Lane is the bad guy in this? Does Lois have a role in it?
Posted by ohcaroline on 08/26/09 at 01:51 PM
These last two issues have made me feel guilty about defending this book so much...
Posted by Slockhart on 08/26/09 at 06:59 PM
@ohcaroline: General Lane is the bad guy in all the Superman books at the moment. Lois is in it only a little bit, so far.

Pretty good. 4/5 for me. Digging the new direction for for the Superbooks.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 08/28/09 at 02:44 PM
Also... this isn't a veiled Amethyst revival is it?
Posted by PraxJarvin on 08/28/09 at 02:48 PM
Kind of a mediocre end to the crossover

I wonder if we will see all out war.

DC makes some of the worst decisions on cover treatments
