I was hoping for more of a fight between the heroes and Kylstar/Brainiac instead of them being all "Oops, my bad. We're gone". I was also hoping for more closure about how M'gann managed to fix Superboy's relationship with Superman. Plus, I was hoping that Superman would get a peek at the lost cities so that he could get his hands on Kandor. And he was right to regret not asking Brainiac about it.

But other than these problems, the issue was OK. I totally called it on this being how Noor Harjavti got abducted and replaced by the Kroloteans, though I didn't think that it would show how Bibbo suffered the same fate. Plus, it was nice to finally see Queen Bee's mind-control power in action, though it was a creepy way of showing how she murdered Marie Logan. To be fair, Greg was not expecting the comics to end after that arc. You can see this by the large amount of plot coupons he placed in the story -- the biggest one is Kylstar's plan to take over the galaxy, and what the roles of Black Adam, Blockbuster, and Major Force are.
