Superman, Lobo, and the Superman family take a stand against Brainiac and the Brainiac Queen in the finale to “House of Brainiac.” That leads into the anticipated summer event, Absolute Power.
It’s all hands on deck in Action Comics #1066! Brainiac has created his masterpiece, and all bets are off as Superman and his teammates bear witness to a cosmic horror unlike anything they’ve ever seen! And after learning the true history of Brainiac, Lobo will have to choose what side he is on before all hell breaks loose!
On sale June 18, part five of “House of Brainiac” is written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Rafa Sandoval, who also provides art for the issue’s main cover. Action Comics #1066 also features variant cover art by Jorge Jiménez, Paolo Rivera, and Mark Spears, plus a Pride Month variant spotlighting Steel (Natasha Irons) by Betsy Cola.
On June 25 the story reaches its climax in Superman #15, also written by Williamson with art by Sandoval. Superman is allied with Lex Luthor, and together they’ve figured out how to stop Brainiac and his queen, but it will take a great sacrifice. The Man of Steel and one of his greatest enemies will have to do the unthinkable to save their family and friends. This all leads directly into DC’s blockbuster summer event, Absolute Power.
