Thank you @MattMcDonald and @JLWWSM. Congratulations on 100 weeks of Book club. I may not have been here from the start but I’m so glad I found this club and have enjoyed the weekly read-a-longs with everybody and continue to look forward to seeing what stories we will read next. Here’s to the next 100 weeks and beyond.

We’ve enjoyed having you! Thanks as always for stopping by:)

Brainiac was creepy, scary, and down right everything great with a villain that can challenge Superman.

That’s one thing that always catches me off guard with this book. Just how creepy brainiac is. They really nailed the horror vibe to the character.

• Is this your first time reading Superman: Brainiac?
• What were your expectations prior to reading?
• What did you think of our villain, Brainiac?
• What was your favorite Page or Panel?

• This is my first time reading it!
• I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was really curious about it.
• Brainiac is one of DC’s best villains. He’s smart, powerful, technologically advanced, a bit creepy, intimidating, … It takes a lot to beat him!
• There were so many great panels, but this one warmed my heart!

This was an excellent story! I loved the time we spent at the Daily Planet and all of the drama there

Great pick and revisit! @MattMcDonald

Favorite panels:

Gotta agree with @juskris with the one where Supes say Welcome to Earth. reminded me of that scene in Independence Day

Second one would put me right there with @Lecouch84 on Clark & Kara’s interactions with Cat Grant. I think I’m leaning more with Kara’s though “She should see a doctor”

One thing I’ve noticed is that Frank does a great job with capturing the likeness of Margot Kidder for Lois in those first few panels but then seems to abandon it for the rest of the story.
