Superman: Brainiac Attacks Page #4

One I don't have time to share.

Give me that film!

Oh, no!

Rooting for you, my man.

No!

Superman!

The reactor's gonna blow!

You want your camera, newsboy?

Come and get it.

Fun dancing with you, Mercy.

But I will take my camera, thank you.

Oh, man.

Good game, Supey.

You and I make strange allies, but....

In any event, how lucky

for the original Man of Steel...

...that my patented Lexosuit

softened up Brainiac for him, huh?

So that is what provides

the son of Krypton with newfound power.

No!

She fought bravely, Superman...

...but there's no more time.

Clark?

No, Lois.

It's me, Superman.

Welcome to your

Fortress of Solitude, Kal-EI.

That is, what remains of it.

I'll rebuild it, with your help.

And Ms. Lane?

A clean bill of health.

Though I came close,

too close, to losing her.

It's best for her safety

if I keep my distance.

It's best for Lois...

...if Clark Kent retires

from the Daily Planet.

Sure, I got a little banged up...

...but self-sacrifice comes

with the territory

when you're Metropolis' protector.

Me and Superman, that is.

In fact, you might say

I'm Superman's pal.

Actually, I believe that honor belongs

to Jimmy Olsen of the Planet.

What about reports that your bodyguard

assaulted the Olsen kid?

He was trespassing.

Poor girl thought he was a burglar.

Another thing, Mr. Luthor.

This was found within Brainiac's remains.

The LexCorp logo

is inscribed on its underside.

Do you care to comment?

Mercy, phone my attorneys.

All of them.

Told you Mercy would eat you alive.

Yeah, she's a real tiger.

I failed you, Mr. White.

I didn't get the story.

Well, stick to photography, Olsen.

I got one of my ace newshounds back.

Hey, what about lunch?

I think you're covered, Jimmy.

I heard you like cheeseburgers

and chili fries.

Yeah. You betcha.

Where is your other

ace newshound, anyway?

It's not that he didn't

wanna be here, Lois.

You know, chief, the thing about Clark...

...you hardly notice him when he's around.

But when he's not....

-Clark!

-I came as soon as I could, Lois.

Guess I missed all the excitement.

It's good to see you, Clark.

White.

Kent, you're back

not a moment too soon.

Seems some superpowered imp

calling himself Mr. Mxyz-- Mxyz--

Whatever he's called.

He's causing some kind of cockamamie

topsy-turvy down at the wharf.

Mr. White-- Perry...

...this is hard for me.

Maybe harder than almost anything

I've ever had to say.

It's about my job.

The reason I returned

was to let you know that...

...I don't think I can work--

Lane?

I'm on it, chief.

The wharf. And step on it.

Lane sure lives dangerously.

Yes.

Yes, she does.

Whether I'm around or not.

So, Kent, about the job?

You don't think you can what?

Don't think I can be

your foreign correspondent, Perry.

I was really homesick.

We missed you too, Kent.

I think Lois will be just fine...

...as long as Superman and Clark Kent

are around to look out for her.
