“Brainiac Chapter One”

Channeling the spirit of the beloved 1978 film, Superman '78 #1 kicks off "Brainiac Chapter One" with a cover that frames the Man of Steel soaring defiantly, fist raised, against the towering visage of Brainiac himself — all domed skull and glowing eyes, with a futuristic cityscape looming behind him. Lois Lane and Lex Luthor loom large in the foreground, while Brainiac's diminutive figure appears alongside them, lending the image a sense of converging threats. Writer Robert Venditti and artist Wilfredo Torres (with colors by Jordie Bellaire) bring a cinematic warmth to this retro-styled adventure that feels like a loving continuation of a silver-screen classic.
