Action Comics #878

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Thara/ Flamebird was stabbed earlier by Ursa and is thus recovering after Chris took her to Lois (Mom!)

And here we have some fun with Lois...

 

I think Lois gave Thara a stroke right dere.

Shortly after...



D'aww. They're such a cute couple. Then I remember Chris is for all intents actually a 10 year old. Ah comics. Still Thara calling Chris K'riss is pretty funny and a nice way to remind us that everything human including names would be foreign to the Kryptonians.

Chris then tells the duo about how he went back to the Fortress to get supplies as well as finding out the previous sleeper agent the Kandorian Duo captured was executed by Ursa who didn't trust that the person didn't reveal info to anyone. Also Chris was followed and fought military jets which makes Lois wonder what their involvement is in this whole fiasco.

Then Thara and Chris see on TV the Kryptonian Boonie and Clyde of Az-Rel (sadly not Azrael) and Nadira were spotted with the two being Chris and Thara's next targets to capture before they harm more people (Which they've been doing a lot of lately).



Yep, the Kandorian duo kick some butt.

Then the final page is of Codename Patriot I believe and an army of zombie looking something or others getting ready to attack and capture the four.

I'm always wondering if I should be reading this book and World Of New Krypton, but with the Batbooks starting back up and Blackest Night coming up, I don't think I could afford it.

[scorpiokyle.insanejournal.com]

yeah, i've thought the same thing. guess i'll be waiting for these in trade.

[kingrockwell]

That's what I've pretty much decided, but I wish it didn't have to be that way.

Chris and Thara are quickly becoming two of my favorite characters.

How the hell did this happen? I used to hate Chris with a fiery passion.

That Greg Rucka's obviously got some witchcraft going here.

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

I still hope there is a way to bring Chris back to his normal age.

[milleniumrex.insanejournal.com]

I personally like him at 16 or so, which is where he is now, I think.

He and Thara are an awesome team. Teen Kryptonian super-spies for the win. :D

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

But we already have a ton of teenage suerheroes. We need more kid superheroes that aren't dicks.

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

We need more teen superheroes that won't get needlessly slaughtered in the next crossover.

[pepperspray101.insanejournal.com]

You think these two are going to last longer than a year? *skeptical*

[pepperspray101.insanejournal.com]

Same here. I'm very disappointed in DC's decision to age Chris. We already have a few Kryptonian teenagers, what the hell do we need more for? Not to mention it squicks me out to think teen girl is falling for a guy with the mentality of a child. It just squicky to me. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to even call their interaction cute. Ick, just ick. What a loss of a decent kid character. :(

Since when do they bother to translate Kryptonian into English?

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

Thara and Chris make a adorable couple.

[tohofuhai.insanejournal.com]

Chris, Damien, and the West kids... new Young Justice please?

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

is Lyrl Dox old enough yet...it could be awesome!

[yaseen101.insanejournal.com]

Who? Anyway you can add Lian to the mix too, along with Steph's kid and Selina's child and maybe Sin too afterall they are still alive. Chris, Damien, Lian, Lyrl Drox, Helena, Steph's kid, Sin and Wally's kids would make a great team.

And Milagro, don't forget, as a new Lantern or just with her sheer force of Milagroness.

Lyrl Dox, Brainiac 3.

Tried to take over the world in R.E.B.E.L.S years ago when he was a toddler. Vril did something to make him good again, I think it went beyond the naughty step

Too late for that now that Chris is a hulking young man. ugh. X( it appears most comic book readers don't like kid characters, so DC's not going to do it.

[crinosg.insanejournal.com]

Okay, did anyone else hear porno music in that first scene? Tell me it wasn't just me.

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

Hey, Lois has needs you know. Clark's not there, and Chris is her son, she needs hot Kryptonian lovin' from someone!

[pepperspray101.insanejournal.com]

I'm refraining from fully expressing my disgust only because I can't see these two hanging around for more than a year. Ick is all I can say for now.
