It’s a snake! It’s a flying lizard! It’s… both?
When we last left Hawkins and Joliet, they were about to become flying-snake food in the jungle of an unknown Pacific island. The creatures seem to be protecting their territory… and when Hawkins and Joliet make it back to the beach, their shipmate has turned one dug-up skeleton into a whole army of bones! The mysteries surrounding the island hit their peak when the Magellan is attacked by a shadowy creature too big to be human. It turns out that the flying snakes are just the beginning.

In Superman #8 there are a numbers of things that look to show that DC Comics is including Darwyn Cooke's acclaimed retro-style “DC: The New Frontier” from 2004 as part of the current DC Universe. Part of this is the includes Dinosaur Island, the South Pacific island in the DC Comics Universe populated with countless prehistoric-type creatures first introduced over half a century ago and was utilized as a locale in Darwyn's New Frontier.
"Possible spoilers"
After Superman and company survives an attack by a gigantic undersea monster, they survey the island only to discover wrecked WWII-vintage military vehicles.
Realizing they’ve been sent to a location without understanding why, they all attempt to fly away from the island only to be attacked again this time by a flock of pterodactyl-like dinos.
They fall to the ground, only to have the group of flying predators mysteriously fly away, apparently frightened for unknown reasons.
Within the skeletal remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, they find human remains, and discover some cryptic writings on a cave wall, that hint at the New Frontier storyline.

In the troubled waters off Somalia, a rag-tag group of marine scientists studying a pack of female great white sharks find themselves caught in a conflict between pirates and the might of the US Navy.

History
Action Comics was created by Pat Mills in 1975, many of the stories in Action were what Mills called "dead cribs", essentially rip-offs of popular films, books, and comic heroes. Rather than being a straight copy, the "cribs" in Action had their own slant on the idea. Hook Jaw, for example, combined environmental issues with the graphic gore and shark anti-hero of Steven Spielberg's film Jaws (1975).

History
Action Comics was created by Pat Mills in 1975, many of the stories in Action were what Mills called "dead cribs", essentially rip-offs of popular films, books, and comic heroes. Rather than being a straight copy, the "cribs" in Action had their own slant on the idea. Hook Jaw, for example, combined environmental issues with the graphic gore and shark anti-hero of Steven Spielberg's film Jaws (1975).
Hook Jaw was created by Mills as a Jaws cash-in and the flagship title of the comic. The strip was scripted by Ken Armstrong and drawn by Ramon Sola. Hook Jaw is a Great White Shark and the hero of the series, even though he spends most of his time eating most of the human cast of characters. The name Hook Jaw comes from the gaff hook stuck in the shark's jaw after some fisherman tried to catch the creature shortly before being eaten by it. Mills gave the strip an environmental edge by having Hook Jaw eat corrupt humans, or criminals, seeking to exploit the seas, as well as anyone else unlucky enough to get near him. Hook Jaw appeared in three stories before the ban. The first was set on an oil rig, the second was set on an island resort in the Caribbean, and the third was set just off the south coast of England. Hook Jaw returned after the ban, but no longer ate as many people and if he did it was off panel. The strip also lost the environmental themes Mills had placed in it. Spitfire Comics in 2007 released a collection of the pre-ban strips in Collected Hook Jaw vol.1.
