I'm sure they just threw Rucka on this because they wanted the "new Krypton" thing to be bigger, but this came up as kind of a dud.
After a title that is confusing (Nightwing? What the fuck. That's not the REAL nightwing we all know) we get into a decent story of new warriors trying their best to stop the villains of Zod's army and the people who are infiltrating earth. But the story never really goes anywhere, and you need ALOT of knowledge on who these characters are to care about their adventure. The dialogue is fine, and the fights are pretty great, but the rest? Just okay. A 3 out of 5 at best.

Interessante albo, uno di un pacco regalo perché normalmente non seguo il mondo del boy-scout azzurrone. In realtà la storia, che si inserisce nella fase di New Krypton e dintorni, non è difficile da seguire ed i disegni sono buoni. Mi ha fatto venir voglia di sapere come andrà a finire anche se Superman e il suo sub-universo normalmente non mi interessa.
Quindi 2 stelle e mezza le merita tutte.

I'm not really into Superman, so I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book, but the man of steel isn't actually IN this spinoff comic, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nightwing and Flamebird are intriguing characters with a passionate story. Great writing by Greg Rucka, as usual. Impressive artwork too. This one's a keeper and well worth a read.

Library copy. Oh, how I love anything Greg Rucka writes!

Fun, classic comic-booking. One of my favourite spin-offs from the "New Krypton story-arc. I hope they bring these two characters back in a few years.

as an independent volume it is not great. it has some fun moments, but it definitely requires heavy knowledge of the war on new krypton story to get anything out of it.

It was the last great pre-TheNew52 Superman storyline. It was supposed to entertain and enlighten and energize the Superman books for years to come. It was one of the most massive, interconnected tales of Kal-El ever told.
And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I think I was one of the few who did.
And that is a complete shame.
Superman New Krypton is a storyline that takes place over almost two years worth of Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl, Superboy, World of New Krypton, Adventure Comics and various one shots and mini-series. One of the slight modifications after Infinite Crisis to the mythos was opening the floodgates to plenty of other Kryptonians being alive and well, and this concept became a tidal wave when Superman faced off against Brainiac for the “first” time and freed the kidnapped bottled city of Kandor.
In all classic and neo-modern versions of this tale, these fellow Kryptonians become jolly good friends of Superman and benevolent helpers to him. Those stores would always bore me to tears. Even when they enlarged and got their own planet, I couldn’t have cared less.
This time, this contemporary version, they range from arrogant to somewhat ungrateful to outright hostile to all sorts inbetween. It is made abundantly clear that one of the points of New Krypton is that a great part of makes Superman “Super” is the parentage of Ma and the now late Pa Kent. Early on the now powered up Kandorians relish “their” new planet, and view the current inhabitants, namely us humans, as like pets. The part with the whale illustrates this dichotomy so precisely, it is downright prescient of what future troubles are brewing.
Tensions immediately escalate when Lois’s presumed dead father, General Lane, enacts Project 7734, with the goal of fulfilling his genocidal hatred of all things Superman. Plots within plots within plots, each met with large body counts, becomes the constant theme here. Anyone and anything that gets in the way of eliminating these filthy aliens must be abolished. The massacres the Kandorians have to endure, and their counter measures to ensure their safety, cause global tensions and bring about a huge cadre of superheroes to sort the situation out.
At this point the preamble is done, the Kandorians see the welcome mat yanked away, which makes them launch their city off into space, create a crystalline planet for themselves, and take up orbit on the far side of the sun. Goodbye you crazy humans!
At this point, Kal is still trying to fix all the myriad problems that have come about here, and so with a heavy heart he talks to wife Lois and mother Martha and goes off to outer space and New Krypton.
The stage is set and the players are now in place.
Kal-El is now world building, society changing and evil plot solving in the World of New Krypton comic by James Robinson, Greg Rucka and Pete Woods. Guest stars like Green Lantern, Adam Strange and Jemm pop up here because of the new galactic power this planet represents. We also see the creators reinvent Krypton by incorporating as many different previous versions as possible, and somehow keeping internal logic. Kal learning about how things work here does not make him a happy Superman, and brings out the social revolutionary in him.
Meanwhile, back in Metropolis, new protectors have emerged in the Superman comic, by James Robinson and Renato Geudes. Through a series of flukes, Mon-El has been plucked from the Phantom Zone and managed to be cured, while another clone of the golden age hero The Guardian has come to town. These two bring truth and justice and subplots galore here every month.
But what of all the subterfuge between the two planets? Action Comics by Greg Rucka and various artists plays with this concept by showcasing the hunt for Kryptonian infiltrators by Nightwing and Flamebird. This crime fighting duo, and potential couple, are also Kryptonians and fighting against the evil General Zod’s plans for Earth.
The tale of someone genuinely torn between the two worlds is in the Supergirl comic, by Sterling Gates and Jamal Igle. Whether she is on New Krypton endlessly arguing with her mother – and leader of Kandor, or learning about humanity while living with Lana Lang back on Earth, Supergirl is constantly challenged. She is also subjected to relentless yellow journalism by Daily Planet gossip hound Cat Grant, trying on the secret identity of Linda Lang, and recovering from Kryptonite poisoning, which by the way, is a brilliant pot device to fix the many many problems plaguing the character over the years. Supergirl 43 is the absolute best of this series, featuring her birthday and choosing a guild.
Joining in on the fun is Adventure Comics, by Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul. Starting with Superboy slowly becoming a part of everything, the series than evolves into telling the tale of how the time travelling Legion of Super Heroes are involved with this crisis.
Along the way with this sweeping storyline, we get some one shots giving us the journey of Jimmy Olsen as he investigates General Lane, and another one shot at a critical junction of everything. A personal favourite is the World’s Finest miniseries, by Sterling Gates and various artists, which has several very important plot developments. But the real reason this is a classic part of New Krypton is that these four issues have a literal whackload of Superman and Batman supporting characters teaming up, arguing, bantering, and just giving us readers a grand old adventure. Come on, Guardian and Robin Damian taking on Mr Freeze and the Parasite, what more can you ask for?
The only downside to this undertaking is the midway point. You can tell the gears behind the scenes were being shifted slightly, with some ideas, like Mon-El’s powers or what to do with Guardian’s “kid”, becoming increasing sidelined. By the time of the epic ending with The Last Stand of New Krypton comic, you can feel the lethargy kicking in. This is not to say the conclusion, which reaches its final crescendo with the War Of The Supermen mini-series, was not good and gripping and emotional, but it is obvious the fatigue from creating all those stories had taken it’s toll.
Afterall, besides everything I have mentioned, New Krypton also stars Lois Lane on a quest for the truth about her father, Perry White trying to guide her, Lex Luther being the master manipulator, Atlas being a brute, Steel helping out in Metropolis, the Creature Commandos making a comeback, Reactron being a ruthless murderer, Doomsday terrorizing everyone, Captain Atom playing a role, Daxam history getting re-explained, Codename: Assassin getting a dust-off, Silver Banshee giving a shout out, Insect Queen crawling about, Rao gaining new followers, and a partridge in a pear tree. With all this, and so much more, is it any wonder that everyone involved probably needed a nice long vacation when it was all said and done?
One issue that was present from the start, as related in interviews by writer Greg Rucka, is that New Krypton was very much behind schedule right from inception. Playing catch-up was always a present concern for all creators, who all want to do their best, but are facing a super deadline looming before them.
Because of this rushed nature of the series, and despite the promotional push from DC Comics, fans seemed slightly jaded before New Krypton even began. I myself got every issue, but only read them all last month. Because of this malaise, I firmly believe sales of the entire storyline were far below expectations, which is most likely why virtually all aspects of it were promptly ignored as soon as it ended. And this failure was also the most probable reason why the major surgery was committed on Superman’s history with The New 52 Relaunch. Think about it, this massive sweeping tale of epic proportions with far reaching ramifications vanishes from continuity a year later? Such a shame.
Everyone has a favourite Superman. Mine is the From Crisis To Crisis era. This storyline, with a nip and tuck and a bit of mental rewiring, can still fit somewhat gently into that beloved version of the Man of Steel. Yes, some leaps are harder to take than others, and I am looking at you Lucy Lane, but so many of the basic concepts are still present and accounted for.
So many thoughts and ideas are expressed here. The Clark Kent of Ma and Pa Kent faces off against the Kal-El of Krypton, nature versus nurture on a planetary scale. Earth and New Krypton on a collision course caused by madmen, people who know nothing of what Superman stands for. All this encompassing something like 150 comics in total.
A Super tale for a Superman.
And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I think I was one of the few who did.

Debo decir que Greg Rucka no es uno de mis escritores favoritos pero estos números de Action Comics me están gustando bastante. Quizás sea el hecho de que no tengo que esperar meses para terminar de leer los arcos. No lo se.
Aunque en general Action Comics es sinónimo de un cómic donde el protagonista es Superman en realidad esta serie ha pasado momentos donde este último pasa a un segundo plano. Es lo que estaba sucediendo en ese momento ya que ahora se enfoca en un par de héroes de la mitología de Krypton, Nightwing y Flamebird (y si, Dick Grayson tomó el mote de Nightwing justamente inspirado por esto). En ellos vemos su vida en un planeta Tierra donde ahora los kryptonianos son perseguidos, por lo cual ellos tienen que ser muy cautos en sus acciones. Sin embargo hay mas kryptonianos en la Tierra, en particular Nadira y Az-Rel un par de villanos liberados por Ursa que son una especie de Bonnie y Clyde kryptonianos.
La verdad es que, aunque no está siendo tan emotiva como Superman donde el protagonista es Mon-El, si me está gustando. Y la verdad es que la revelación de Thara Ak-Var, Flamebird de el último número de este compilado estuvo increíble.

December 25, 2024About as mid as Greg Rucka said it would be. It’s fun to see Rucka’s continued interest in military spy fiction coupled with superheroes, but the main characters here got next to nothing goin on. The final issue of dueling flashbacks is way better, and the sequence that shows Braniac stealing Kandor from Black Zero’s perspective is a highlight. The force field slicing in half the impaled dying bodies of Thara’s parents while Ursa runs away in fear is so over the top gruesome science fiction, but it really works under Rucka’s writing to inform Thara and Ursa in all the other material. If every issue was that quality this would be the Kryptonian military science fiction series I had hoped for.

Kryptonian heroes, Nightwing & Flamebird star here as Clark is off world and its not bad. I think its weird placement with the Mon-El title doing virtually the same thing but this is more geared on hunting Kryptonian sleepers. The book was entertaining despite the slog of an annual that reads like an encyclopedia and horrific covers by Andrew Robinson. The identities of the heroes is interesting but not surprising. I wished there was a little more intrigue about it. Rucka did a really good job showcasing Ursa and her derangement. Eddie Barrows' art was dynamic. Overall, fun but flawed.

This is such a fun exciting read. So much of the interaction is enjoyable but the action and plot really make it even better. Things really become exciting and fresh in this title. Ruka takes over Johns's title and by the end of the volume you forget that this is the series that spawned the New Krypton event. It even uses an original character from that run and I must say I do enjoy what they did. Beyond that, I must say this may just be the best part of New Krypton so far.

Like Mon-El, this isn't terrible, but it's not good either. It's better than Mon-El - Rucka's not spreading himself as thin as Robinson, but he's still short-shrifting the characterization. It's all conspiracy, all Sam Lane and General Zod's sleepers, with the heroes being buffeted between the two forces. But it's solid work, except for the origin chapter, which is just page after page after page of exposition. Artworks's not great, but not awful.

Pleasantly strong writing in regards to character. Definitely weakened by the sprawling narrative and the puzzle box story telling style.
I GENUINELY wish writers from the 2000s would be a little less interested in setting up mysteries.

Disappointed and sad this was a snooze fest and confusing for no reason

Nightwing and Flamebird serves to expand on the events happening on Earth in Superman's abscene as well as to reveal the identities of the two costumed heroes who have appeared in several earlier parts of the New Krypton story arc.
For those thinking "hang on, isn't Dick Grayson Nightwing?" This is also true, the name comes from the Kryptonian mythology, the Flamebird being a massive, flaming dragonlike creature from deep in Krypton's past and the bird's partner being Nightwing, its mate and opposite.
The figures of Flamebird and Nightwing have appeared countless times in Krypton's history as champions of the people. The current duo are on Earth wearing power suits to disguise their Kryptonian origins.
I won't say any more about the story as a lot of it is shrouded in mystery at the beginning and to say more would be to give out spoilers. I will say however that I really enjoyed this book and it's deeper look at Krytonian mythology and it's exploration of the dynamics of the Kent/Lane families
Great read, well worth a look

Greg Rucka's entry into the multi-part New Krypton story is arguably the most consistent in the terms of writing and tone. Perhaps that is because he didn't have to mesh his stories with other writers. A very good concept is at play here. Chris and Thara are trying to uncover Kryptonian sleeper agents, while being hunted by a clandestine US Army group that views all aliens as security threats. Rucka's depiction of Brainiac's first invasion (yes now there are 2) of Krypton hits some good emotional points for the Ursa and Thara characters.
November 14, 2011
I enjoyed most of it, though there are parts which are a little uneven. Two more heroes go to Earth in Superman's absence on New Krypton. They're mistrusted by the population, hunted by the military and Kryptonians, and on a mission of their own.
The backstory given at the end was also helpful.

I'm at somewhat of a disadvantage as I haven't followed Superman around this installment. That said, good use of mythology within the mythology of Krypton/Braniac/etc. Not the most interesting storyline outside of that, though.
June 7, 2013
If i'm honest, the main reason I didn't like this is because when I ordered it from the library I didn't read the blurb properly so I thought I was getting a Nightwing/Dick Grayson story, not some Superman spin-off series. I'm sure it is a perfectly decent book to people who enjoy Superman.
July 10, 2013
Overall, a strong story that stays sufficiently distinct from New Krypton proper. The backstory in the Annual has quite a few very good plot elements, but is too wordy from them to come off strongly.
February 22, 2016
This was cool, though a little confusing at times. I am loving all of this expansion to the Superman universe. I hope they continue on with these characters.
July 30, 2012
With Superman off planet, this is one of the most logical replacements that DC could have come up with.
April 17, 2013
Enjoyable story with insight into Krypton and in particular New Krypton. I like the characters of Chris and Thara, and the storyline, and curious to see how it's resolved.
January 6, 2016
A middle book in an ongoing comic, but very interesting. You learn more about some other Kryptonians and their history and religious beliefs as well.
