Meanwhile Mon-El continues to feature in the Action Comics story in the Phantom Zone. There was one bit that was meant to be profound/shocking/something but I found uncomfortable ...
Mon-El has taken over this flying ship in the Zone that used to be run by Xa-Du the Phantom King. Mon is explaining how he and his allies took over the ship. When Superman asks what happened to the original crew and that he assumed Mon marooned them somewhere, there is a pause as Mon turns away and then says "I had to make some choices for the safety of my crew. You wouldn't understand. You're Superman. I'm not."
The implication is that Mon killed them. This is an uncomfortable fit with what we know of him in the Legion and what we know of his past. Still it's vague enough that a future writer could change it to something else.

...how would they kill them IN THE PHANTOM ZONE? The whole, defining point is that nothing dies there. Whether they like it or not.
My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm just confused by this whole thing. So, the PZ is now basically just another place where you can fly spaceships through it and interact physically with other things? I much prefer the old school idea of it as this weird ethereal state of existence in-between dimensions where you couldn't really interact with anyone else either there or in our dimension. Making it just some sort of other-dimensional Australia where you exile people there but they live relatively normal lives (and may be immortal?) seems to take all the oomph out of it.
