As Brainiac attacks Metropolis for Lex Luthor’s transgressions, Superman works as fast as he can to escape the bottled city of Kandor! But what it will take to get free from the shrunken Kryptonian city might be more than the Man of Steel can handle. Will he be able to leave behind the people he thought he lost and save his adoptive world, or will Superman be cataloged and preserved permanently by Brainiac?
But this is a good cliffhanger. I have to assume the physical threat will end quickly leaving the rest of the pages to sort out all the other plot threads. Will Kandor end up in the Fortress? Regrown on Rokyn? This series has been something special. I am sad to see it go and can only hope we get more. I want a sequel already! And maybe put this team on a Supergirl '84 book!

Every issue of this title has made good its promise. Its gonna be a bit of a letdown only having one more issue to read although its sure to be a strong conclusion. Read Full Review
There is no doubt that SUPERMAN 78 #5 is a must-read making this series and eventual trade a must-buy for any SUPERMAN fans collection. Classic enthusiasts will certainly get the feels, Donnerverse buffs will find the renderings uncanny, current SUPERMAN fans can see some foundation takes, and new readers can still find one heck of an outstanding story. This series should be on every SUPERMAN reader's pull list. Pick this up, let me know what you think, God Bless, and have a Happy New Year! Read Full Review
The '70s are back with a vengeance as the creative team take the opportunity to pepper this plot driven issue with bits and pieces to which children of that decade will thrill. It all goes hand in hand in developing the look and feel of the series as a continuation of the films. And, it only really works if the book can conjure up the notion that it actually comes from the '70s. Read Full Review
Even when presenting a familiar segment of the "script," Superman '78 #5 captures the magic of the movies it emulates. Read Full Review
Superman '78 #5 does a great job ramping up the stakes and anticipation of Brainiac dooming all of Metropolis with only Superman capable of saving the day. As penultimate issues go, Superman '78 will make you feel like a kid again in a new way. Read Full Review
This is an old-school comic in the best way, capturing Superman at his best in a story with high-stakes and a timeless feel. It might not be quite as ambitious character-wise as its Batman counterpart, but it may be a better tribute to its title character. Read Full Review
Another exceptional issue in this series. This one is full of action and build, as the grand finale is next issue, but there's also plenty of great character moments. You've definitely got to grab this issue!! Read Full Review
Torres delivers some great art. The style of the visuals continue to be well suited for both the story and the characters. Read Full Review
An all round delight of a comic. If you don't hear the John Williams score soaring along with Superman, you may not have a soul.
This comic continues to be written perfectly in tune with the films and gorgeously illustrated.
There’s something really special about Wilfredo Torres’ art in this series. I caught myself dreaming how great it would be if he would accompany Alan Moore on a third year of Supreme.
Can’t believe we only have one issue left! :(
Alright, yeah, this is boring.
