Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton #2
In "Last Stand of New Krypton, Part Six: Divided, Conquerable," James Robinson and Sterling Gates deliver a pivotal chapter as Luthor’s gambit to destroy Brainiac’s ship backfires in unexpected ways. With Pete Woods’ dynamic art and Blond’s vivid colors, the tension escalates as Superman steps in to stop Zod from finishing off a weakened Brainiac—only for Zod to turn on Earth, citing Luthor’s role in the attack as justification for war. David Finch and Joe Weems’ cover captures the moment’s gravity, framing the stakes with sharp, dramatic flair.

Luthor brings down Brainiac's ship by expanding a bottled city within it. While the Legion and Mon-El rescue the remaining cities, Brainiac takes his revenge against Luthor, but discovers he never really knew his ally. Superman prevents Zod from finishing off a now-powerless Brainiac, and Brainiac 5 spirits his ancestor away, but citing the aid of Luthor in Brainiac's attack, Zod rallies his people for war against Earth.
