Ending with #646 finishes with Superman burying the Eradicator (with art by Keith Giffen), and then if they did another one, you'd have Superman #37 and Adventures #460 before Action #647 begins "Brainiac Trilogy." If Action started the month, maybe they need to go as far as #460?collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-50815913310213700982017-08-02T19:54:51.917-05:002017-08-02T19:54:51.917-05:00Bryan Q.

However, having that collection stop at Superman #27 cannot be right, as 27 stops just before the titular Exile story begins and the rest of the issues listed go well into it and beyond.
