Recent Action Comics storyline....?!
Question: Ok now in Action Comics #846 (the Geoff Johns/Richard Donner run) Clark is sent to the by Phantom Zone by General Zod. Issues #847 through #850 deals with Superman not being around and how others cope with the loss. Issue #851 goes back to the Phantom Zone storyline and then issues #852 to current issues deal with Countdown and Bizarro World. My question is...how in the hell did Superman escape the Phantom Zone? Did I completely miss an issue somewhere (like an annual issue) or did they completely drop the storyline. If they did drop the storyline then why are they still using the Christopher Kent character in the Superman comic?

No, you didn't miss anything. Due to scheduling problems, the last two parts of the "Last Son" storyline will be in Action Annual #11.
Rumor has the annual shipping in January 2008, but I'm hoping it will be sooner.
