Superman: Brainiac (2008)

Graphic Novel

Writer: Geoff Johns/Art: Gary Frank

This is quality stuff. The visuals are strong, but the writing is superb. Geoff Johns might not have reinvented the wheel when it comes to the story, but the characters are fleshed-out and written with a tangible depth. He generates genuine emotion in the reader by the end of the story.

My favorite panels by Gary Frank involve Supergirl. She admits to Superman that she doesn’t believe that she has the physical tools to stop a laser beam headed toward the Sun, which will make it explode, and that she is, frankly, afraid. The Man of Steel explains that everyone is afraid…but it’s alright to be afraid. The next two panels are terrific. No dialog, but the reader sees the subtle—yet dramatic—metamorphosis from insecure girl to determined woman.

Loved this book.
