The fun of this story is: it kind of addresses that. Adrian Toomes sounds much more like a villain from The X-Files than a credible threat for the wallcrawler. The issue featured the classic Spider-Man villain The Vulture.
The first storyline I think I ever received ran just before the Clone Saga, so I think people might not remember it as fondly as I do. You might even call this my first monthly book since, in one of those door-to-door subscription offers, I had it shipped monthly to my house for over a year (my corner store also carried Classic X-Men which I bought on a regular basis and I read and bought any current issue of Uncanny X-Men I could get my hands on, but these were never super consistent as Amazing Spider-Man). With the release of the new Amazing Spider-Man movie, I’ve been thinking about one of my favorite storylines that ran through Amazing Spider-Man when I was in middle school. The shrunken capital city of his dead world. But defeat him he does, and in the process, he reclaims the bottle city of Kandor. And Superman has a tough time defeating him. You find out Brainiac essentially never leaves his ship (or the information he’s obsessed with collecting), he sends out “probes” to collect it and bring it back to him - hence the many different Brainiacs that Superman has fought over the years.īut the real deal comes to Earth to up humanity. Superman stands up to him, but finds a much more physically opposing Brainiac than he’s used to.
The premise is this- Brainiac, who has appeared in the Superman cannon many times and in many forms (many of his non-Lex Luthor villains have this problem: they don’t just stick to the one thing) returns to Earth and starts some trouble. I didn’t realize Superman stories could engage me so much, or that this one would in particular, but I actually really liked it. Over the past few weeks, I finished the New Krypton series. One thing I have been doing is reading up on The Man of Steel for a major annotated library blog I’d like to do at one point, so I have been reading comics on a regular basis again (or as regular as I get).
