Superman: Brainiac Reborn Omnibus
Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
The Ultimate Battle of Minds—Superman vs. Brainiac Across Time
Superman: Brainiac Reborn Omnibus collects a sweeping saga of Superman's most cerebral and dangerous foe—Brainiac. Spanning key issues from Action Comics, Superman, and Adventures of Superman between 1989 and 1996, this volume showcases the evolution of Brainiac from a classic villain to a terrifying force of intellect and manipulation. As Superman faces threats to Metropolis, his identity, and even reality itself, Brainiac's schemes grow more insidious, culminating in battles that test the Man of Steel's strength, will, and compassion. Featuring stories by Roger Stern and stunning artwork by Jerry Ordway, this omnibus is a must-have for fans of Superman's most iconic confrontations.
