Action Comics #867

In "Brainiac Part 2: Hide and Seek," Superman confronts the lingering threat of the alien conqueror by analyzing a captured probe with Supergirl—only to learn the chilling truth that he’s never faced the real Brainiac. As he journeys to the distant planet Larroo to stop a devastating attack, he witnesses the planet’s destruction and is taken aboard Brainiac’s ship, unconscious but not defeated. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated with striking detail by Gary Frank, with inks by Jon Sibal and colors by Brad Anderson, this pivotal issue sees Superman pushed to his limits in a battle that stretches across worlds. The cover, also by Gary Frank, captures the moment of dread and scale that defines the story.
