I do not think it has occurred to me before that Brainiac 5 may have rigged it on purpose, but it would make sense given how much he looks up to Superman. And that is very much something the original comic book version would do. <br />While this issue is not a favorite, I do really enjoy much of the series and look forward to covering future issues. In fact, the next few issues I particularly enjoy.<br />Mike Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627891277174726157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-65475102133168629092017-05-02T12:15:15.230-04:002017-05-02T12:15:15.230-04:00I was a big fan of this series and have many thoug...I was a big fan of this series and have many thoughts about it.<br /><br />First, apparently this issue was originally supposed to be a later issue and editorial insisted it be made #1. I tried rereading the series with this one pushed back a few issues, and it really does work a lot better if it's not the first issue.<br /><br />The other big thing is this: I've always suspected that Brainy rigged it so that the Legion recruited Superman from the start of his career on purpose. Because he wanted to be Superman's friend... and so, he wanted to make sure that Superman first met Brainiac 5 before he ever encountered Brainiac.<br /><br />There was never really a resolution of that, though, so it's just speculation.Matthew Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007497367844755093noreply@blogger.com
