    Please tell me you're reading this book, even if you aren't a Superman fan. Recently, some craziness has happened in the Superman world. The real Brainiac came to Earth to collect cities. Superman beat the snot out of him, and he un-shrunk Kandor. Then the Kryptonians of Kandor made a whole new planet on the opposite side of the sun: New Krypton. Superman left Earth to train the Kryptonian military and to make sure they don't wage war on Earth. Right now, Brainiac and Lex are plotting their revenge, well, mostly Brainiac. This March it looks like we're going to see it. 
     

    What is the LAST STAND OF NEW KRYPTON? Well, it’s basically New Krypton’s worst nightmare come to life, as Brainiac attacks the planet, determined to recapture the city of Kandor.

    But General Zod has prepared for this moment since Brainiac first attacked the original Krypton. Only problem? Zod’s plan to save New Krypton will mean the destruction of the future.

    So it’s up to Superman, Supergirl, Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes to save the people of New Krypton and ensure the Legion won’t be wiped from the future’s existence. Good luck! Or, to quote editor Matt Idelson:

    “This is the story that ties together tons of threads that have run through all the Super-books up to now, clearing the decks for the war we all knew was coming. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting months to see Brainiac restored to his full, horrific glory. And at last, we’ll get to see Superboy interact on an ongoing basis with the rest of the Superbooks’ characters.”


     This will be a three issue mini-series that looks like it will tie up all the loose ends in the Super-books. This is also the precursor to War of Superman, which I mentioned last week. Like I said before, I hope you guys are reading this. I am usually not a Superman fan, but I'm loved the Brainiac story earlier this year and I'm really enjoying the World of New Krypton book. Who else is reading this book? Are you guys as excited as I am for this upcoming series?
     
    Brainiac and the Legion of Super-Heroes kicks off the event and then the 3 part mini-series hits shelves in March 2010.

    I might pick up the trade but not the comic, way too many on my pull list already! looks great so far but I've been deceived b4 from DC, I'm hoping though this series will change my mind and prove me wrong I'm a huge Superman fan at heart.

    If I wasn't tight with money lately. I would've been buying this series. But I have to restrain myself from buying too many comics like I use to. So I only buy few issues now.

    The Super books have been killing it. I'm sry, forget the Haters DC has been doing amazing this year, the world-building has been great. An while we know it'll be Status-quo b4 to long, the journey getting there is one hell of a trip. Geoff's vision for DC (and while he isn't spear-heading it anymore, he did start this ball rolling.) as far as the major franchises he's been allowed to get his hands on, (GL, Flash, Supes, Titans) has been great. Green Lantern's payin off right now, and he has more planned. While not my exact cup of tea, he's even managed to make bringing Barry (something i was almost as opposed to as Marvel's abysmal BND, which is why i still haven't bought a single issue with Spider-Man in it. Period.) interesting to read. But Supes? Come on, DC created a story that not only opened his world, and upped the stakes, but answered the biggest complaint he's not the most powerful w/o question on New Krypton. An he's still the man. So keep it coming, and the more S family love to be shown the better. I'll be waiting.

    I enjoyed it but after everything was all said and done, everything basically went back to where they were before Brainiac attacked for the most part besides Supes walking across earth, Kandor no longer exists, and General Lane is dead
