Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Planet-Eater Trilogy is a Superman storyline told by Marv Wolfman and Curt Swan in Action Comics issues #528-530 (February-April, 1982).As the Daily Planet staff are discussing the frightening prospect of the newspaper being sold by its owner WGBS due to failing circulation, Brainiac, who has recently reformed, comes to Earth bringing terrible news: one of his older, abandoned devices has gone out of control. Now it is running amuck and growing uncontrollably by devouring everything in its path: planets, moons, meteorites...and it will not stop until there is literally nothing left in the universe.So, Superman and Brainiac must team up to stop the rampant, mechanical Planet-Eater. Though, the humongous machine blasts Superman back to Earth, his memory wiped out and his mind altered so his senses cannot recognize the planet-wide destruction caused by the Planet-Eater. Meanwhile, Brainiac finds out that his reprogrammed self is not cruel and cunning enough to devise a plan to destroy its monstrous creation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
