SUPERMAN:

HOUSE OF

BRAINIAC SPECIAL

Regular readers of Superman and

Action Comics will be aware of DC’S latest event, House Of Brainiac.

Split into three chapters, the first two have played out in the regular issues, with the third to be published soon. While it would be easy to dismiss this special, billed as Chapter 2.5, it turns out it’s actually pretty essential reading.

It holds the answers to vital questions, such as who protects Metropolis after Brainiac’s army leaves it in ruins, and will Lois Lane confront Perry White about his own secrets as he runs for mayor of Metropolis?

Written by Joshua Williamson, and Mark Russell, this 48-page one shot is available now priced £5.85.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

The Transformers turn 40 this year, and a very special celebration is taking place.

In selected cinemas, for three dates this month, fans can relive the magic of the original Saturday morning cartoon.

The original voice actors team up for the first time in decades for a table read, which will appear on a split screen with pilot episode, More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1.

The next three episodes in the first series will follow, and then fans will get a sneak peek at a brand new animation, Transformers Earthspark.

Join the Robots in Disguise on May 15, 18 and 19, at cinemas including Odeon, Vue, Showcase, Cineworld, Picturehouse and Light.

SPACE GHOST #1

The release of a new comic adventure aims to reboot the Space

Ghost franchise.

The territories of the Galactic Federation are spread far and wide across the vastness of space, and pirates and hijackers ransack distant colonies with cruel disregard.

Yet one cosmic vigilante metes out justice, bringing vengeance to those prey upon the defenceless – Space Ghost.

Written by David Pepose, with art by Jonathan Lau, Space Ghost #1 is out now priced £4.90.

Look out for stunning variant covers, like the one pictured, priced up to £29.99.
