Recent developments within the pages of Superman’s comic book series have generated a buzz as the sinister House of Brainiac takes center stage. With Brainiac reestablishing himself as a formidable adversary by abducting the entire Superman family and every metahuman in Metropolis, fans have been on the edge of their seats. Action Comics #1065, however, unveils that these events are mere components of a much grander scheme.
Joshua Williamson pens this thrilling narrative accentuated by Rafa Sandoval’s artistic finesse. The narrative follows Superman and Lobo as they pursue the devious House of Brainiac, leading them to Hardcore Station—a notorious galactic hub for debauchery and crime, which Lobo affectionately describes as “my kind of town!”
The duo encounters Space Cabbie, a common informant for Lobo, who, despite being reluctant to divulge information due to an army of Czarnians controlled by Brainiac, shares a critical piece of news with Superman.
Brainiac Ambitions Reach Beyond Earth
Not only Earth has suffered the wrath of the malevolent Brainiac, as Space Cabbie reveals that the planets Braal and Titan have also fallen victim to the Czarnian onslaught. These planets are significant due to their inhabitants’ inherent superpowers—magnetism for Braal and telepathy for Titan—and their links to the Legion of Super-Heroes. The question of Brainiac’s endgame, whether it be an exhaustive study of superhumans or an investigation into the descendants of Brainiac-5, remains unanswered.
