A new story arc gets underway in ACTION COMICS #866, a set-up issue
that never really does more than just that, set things up. Following a
flashback to the appearance of Brainiac's Terminator-like evil robot on
Krypton thirty-five years ago, story jumps to present and introduces
some new faces to the Daily Planet's newsroom, including decidedly
busty gossip columnist Catherine Grant, who clearly has "eyes" for
Clark, and snide sports columnist Steve Lombard. After the
introductions, Superman gets a sense that something ain't right and
thus springs into action. Hey, this is "Action Comics" so no surprise
there. Turns out something nasty is speeding toward Earth. A meteor?
Not bloody likely. This "thing" turns out to be a robot much like the
one we saw on Krypton in the opening flashback. Superman suspects
Brainiac is behind it all, but before he can put the robot out of
commission, it manages to take a blood sample from the Man of Steel's
forehead...and transmit the data to Brainiac. As mentioned above, it's
all set-up at this point, so it remains to be seen whether this
storyline will deliver or not. Nevertheless, there's some intriguing
albeit slightly old-fashioned stuff going on in these pages and with
Geoff Johns at the helm, prospects for this one seem relatively
strong.
