Action Comics #1065 (“House of Brainiac” part three) – On sale May 14
As Superman and Lobo fight Brainiac’s Czarnian army in outer space, it’s up to Supergirl and Conner Kent to tackle the threat from the inside. They’ll face heavy odds, but they’re joined by some unexpected and deadly allies! Written by Joshua Williamson with art by Rafa Sandoval and Miguel Mendonça, Action Comics #1065 hits comic book shops May 14, with main cover art by series artist Sandoval and variant covers by Jorge Jiménez, Paolo Rivera, Ivan Talavera, and Mark Spears.

Superman #14 (“House of Brainiac” part four) – On sale May 21
Williamson, Sandoval, and Mendonça turn an unlikely super-team-up into the ultimate comic book slobberknocker in the fourth part of this can’t-miss storyline! Lobo has betrayed the Man of Steel, and Supes has had it with the Main Man. Even if they stop punching each other long enough to save
the day, it’s too late—Brainiac has everything he needs to give life to the Brainiac Queen! In addition to interior art, Sandoval also provides the main cover, with additional covers by Salvador Larroca, Dave Johnson, Carla Cohen, and Chuma Hill.
Power Girl #9 (“House of Brainiac” tie-in) – On sale May 28
Leah Williams, Eduardo Pansica, and Júlio Ferreira continue Power Girl’s quest to protect her Metropolis neighborhood against the advancing Czarnian horde! Lobo’s daughter Crush offers herself up as a diplomat to reason with her fellow Czarnians, but these aliens are as corrupt as they are crude, deciding that they’ll just add Crush to their growing number of hostages. Can Power Girl save the day alone, or will she fall prey to Goblin and his intergalactic biker gang? Yanick Paquette provides the stunning main cover, with variant covers by Tony S. Daniel and David Talaski.
