    The amazing "Brainiac"storyline from ACTION COMICS #866-870 is collected in this spectacular new hardcover! Written by Geoff Johns and featuring art by Gary Frank and Jon Sibal, this is the hard-hitting story that revitalized one of Superman's greatest foes – and brought the bottle city of Kandor to Earth, setting the stage for the storyline "New Krypton."

    He knows him but he doesn't. 0
