Pick of the Week: Action Comics #870

Posted by Stephanie Cox Oct 10, 2008

Action Comics #870 "Brainiac Finale", released October 8, includes the exciting climax of the Superman vs. Brainiac story arch. The writing and story by writer Geoff Johns outdoes the art, by Gark Frank and Jon Sibal, but lately Marvel has the talent-heavy art team anyway. The pacing, dialogue and plot elements make the Brainiac story worth a read. Brainiac is proving to be a pretty evil dude-- and Superman takes him down in brute-style in this issue.

Superman's hapless cousin Supergirl is rescued from Brainiac's grips and Metropolis is saved all in one issue! What more could a Pick of the Week have? Action Comics #870 goes even further to include a heart-wrenching ending. It's good stuff. Check it out.
