“Brain Drain [The Brainiac Trilogy, Part 1]”

George Pérez's cover for this 1989 installment sets an immediately unsettling tone: a grimacing, green-skinned Brainiac dominates the bottom half of the image, his cold pink eyes fixed upward, while Superman writhes above him — energy beams tearing through the Man of Steel — with a second, fleeing Superman visible in the upper corner. Kicking off "The Brainiac Trilogy" with Part One, this issue brings together writer Roger Stern with artists Kerry Gammill and George Pérez, inked by Brett Breeding, for what promises to be a battle of extraordinary minds and powers. If the cover is any indication, Superman may have seriously underestimated his opponent this time.
