Triumph And Tragedy 0
The Story: Brainiac returns forcing Superman to stop him before he annihilates planet Earth. Superman manages to overcome Brainiac but suffers a great loss. My Thoughts:The incredible creative team of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank unite once again to tell a tale about the Man Of Steel.

Brainiac has long...

Poor Jon Kent. What is he, the Duncan Idaho of the Superman Universe? 0

The Return of Kandor and Brainiac 4
I will say I havent read a lot of Superman comics. I guess I just havent got around to reading a lot of his. From the ones I have read this is one of the better ones and was a very enjoyable and quick read. This story served to reintroduce Brainiac and the city of Kandor in pre Flashpoint continuity and it does a really good job at that. The story focuses on Brainiac trying to find Clark and Clark trying to find Brainiac. Supergirl is also in this story and she deals with what happened on Krypto...
