Action Comics #1067

Action Comics #1067 offers a tale from Superman‘s past when an investigation into a youth center getting closed down is interrupted by aliens known as the Gorathians.

Well, if you can’t come up with a good villain you can always turn Superman (Jack Quaid) into the villain, I guess.

My Adventures with Superman - The Machine Who Would Be Empire

Leaving events on Earth alone (although we may catch up with those a bit in the next episode), “The Machine Who Would Be Empire follows Kara (Kiana Madeira) and Clark‘s (Jack Quaid) adventures in space where she eventually leads him to her “father” Brainiac (Michael Emerson) who wishes to rebuild the Kryptonian Empire. Through some sort of mind-control Brainiac has been using Kara not to bring planets in peacefully to the empire but to wipe them out completely (including Thanagar which the cousins visit). By the end of the episode Kara understands how she has been duped, but she need some help to save Superman (and the universe) from the AI.
