Superman team to launch Codename: Patriot
Superman Secret Files 2009 #1
The next Super-crossover rocks the “Superman” titles in August, as a shooting threatens to ratchet up the tension between Earth and New Krypton. Greg Rucka, James Robinson and Sterling Gates bring “World of New Krypton,” “Action Comics,” “Superman” and “Supergirl” into the four-part story “Codename: Patriot.” The “Superman Secret Files” will serve as a primer to “Codename: Patriot.”
“It kicks off the next phase in our overarching Super-story,” Gates said. “It’s the next phase of General Lane’s plan. It’s going to have some long-standing repercussions not only for Superman, but for Lois Lane, Supergirl, Jimmy Olsen, and General Zod,” Gates said.
“Codename: Patriot” has personal repercussions for Superman as well, who follows the suspected shooter to Earth.
“It also marks the first time Superman has returned to Earth since he left six months ago, and there are some people out there who will not be happy to see the Man of Steel come back,” said Gates, who is a University of Oklahoma graduate.
The storyline also offers some reunions for Supergirl.
“While Superman’s being reunited with his friends and family, Supergirl is reunited with her childhood friend, Thara Ak-Var,” Gates said. Thara Ak-Var has been living on Earth and operating as the Kryptonian hero Flamebird.
But that reunion may not play out how readers expect, Gates said.
The crossover begins in “Superman: World of New Krypton” No. 6, on sale August 5, and continues in “Action Comics” #880, “Supergirl” #44, and concludes in “Superman” #691.
