- The Sleepers Part 4 · 22 pages
Nadira and Az-Rel wreak havoc in New Mexico. Thara recovers in the Kent apartment and talks with Lois. A mysterious woman collects a sample of Thara's blood. Lieutenant Hollister updates General Lane with the latest: David Carter was Kryptonian, Nightwing was the Kryptonian kid that came to Earth, and that they've found a Kryptonian couple. Chris returns to Lois' apartment. They see Nadira and Az-Rel on TV, and Chris and Thara suit up to go after them. A fight ensues, joined by Codename: Assassin and an army of creatures.
Publisher’s description
Nightwing and Flamebird, meet Nadira Va-Dim and Az-Rel, the Bonnie and Clyde of Krypton. They've got all of your powers, but absolutely none of your morals. Good luck!
