Superman: Brainiac (New Edition) by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank (2023)
In preparation for James Gunn’s Superman, I checked out some random Superman comics from the public library, including this one. I’ve always thought Brainiac — a super-intelligent cyborg intent on collecting all of the universe’s knowledge for himself — was one of Superman’s cooler villains. Superman: Brainiac has its moments, and I enjoyed Gary Frank’s art (though he’s a bit preoccupied with cleavage and bare midriffs), but the plot — which actually rewrites a foundational moment in Superman’s life — is nothing all that exciting as a standalone story.
