Everyone attends Jonathan Kent's funeral. Clark daydreams about beating Brainiac to a pulp, but is reminded by Lois to just never forget his father. A general and Codename: Assassin have Brainiac, and are running tests on him, trying to extract information. Superman goes to the newly-enlarged Kandor and meets with his uncle and aunt, Supergirl's parents. Lois pays her respects to her father at his grave, and meets up with Lucy there. Luthor is in his prison cell designing a rocket, when the general appears, recruiting Luthor. The general is revealed as Sam Lane, Lois and Lucy's father.
Publisher’s description
A "Sightings" issue! The entire Superman franchise writing team joins forces, with art by Pete Woods and others, to formally launch the Superman event years in the making! While the current threat of Brainiac may have been forestalled in ACTION COMICS #870, the repercussions will be felt for a long, long time. Superman's greatest victory has lead to his happiest day – and his saddest. Gains are balanced by losses while Superman has to figure out what to do with 100,000 Kryptonians! Hold on to your capes as this story leads directly into SUPERMAN #681.
