Fly into director Richard Donner’s Superman once more in Superman ’78! Written by Robert Venditti (Superman: Man of Tomorrow) and drawn by Wilfredo Torres (Batman ’66), Superman ’78 tells a brand-new adventure in the world of the beloved film. A bright, shining day in Metropolis is interrupted by a mysterious drone that crash-lands in the city and starts wreaking havoc. This looks like a job for Superman! But where did the metallic menace come from, what is its purpose, and who is Brainiac? As Metropolis is invaded by this being and its mechanical drones, Superman must make a life-changing sacrifice and leave Earth once and for all. But once aboard Brainiac’s ship, the Man of Steel finds he might not be the last son of Krypton as he believed. This volume collects issues #1-6 of the hit miniseries Superman ’78!

A much more effective commentary on the Cold War than Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, this follow-up to the Superman '78 comic again nails the tone of the Reeves movies in telling a story of hope and optimism. Another easy recommendation.

This was a lot of fun. An excellent story that could be set at any time in the original Reeves' series, utilizing the villain that the films were just itching to introduce, Brainiac. Fun art and pitch-perfect writing makes this an easy recommendation.
