ADVENTURE COMICS ships twice this month as this spring's Superman event 'Brainiac & The Legion of Super-Heroes' starts with a prologue in #8 and reaches a boiling point in #9! Starting way back in 'The Lightning Saga,' various clues have been planted about a group of Legionnaires undercover in the 21st century. Who are they and why are they here? And what does their mission have to do with the fate of New Krypton? James Robinson (SUPERMAN) and Julián López (WORLD'S FINEST) may have an answer or two! Meanwhile, in a tale of the 31st century by Sterling Gates (SUPERGIRL) and Clayton Henry (ADVENTURE COMICS), the Legion of Super-Heroes infiltrates a hidden Legion of Super-Villains base! The horrifying plans Brainiac 5 discovers inside will alter Superman's life - FOREVER! Plus, in the co-feature by Eric Trautmann (ACTION COMICS) and newcomer Pier Gallo, learn more about General Lane's Human Defense Corps - Earth's best line of defense against the looming Kryptonian threat!
