Solicitation:

As Superman attempts to free the other cities and abductees from Brainiac's ship—including the original monster military unit, the Creature Commandos—Lex Luthor experiments on Brainiac himself. Meanwhile, rebuilt and out for blood, Metallo and Reactron attack, and a major turning point for one of our characters sheds a dark shadow across all that is good.
