DC SUPER-PETS: BRAINIAC AND BRAINICAT

SUPERMAN TAS:

Brainiac was a computer on the planet Krypton who knew about the end of Krypton but didn't say anything so he could save himself so that he could be the only Kryptonian left. Brainiac was designed on Krypton and is a Krypton computer system. He decided to let the people die so that he could escape. He felt as if he was the one who should be saved because he holds Krypton's information. Brainiac was suspected of knowing about the destruction by Jor-El, Superman's father. He knew about the end of the Planet but Brainiac covered it up to make it seem as if the earthquakes on Krypton was nothing. Brainiac was discovered by Jor-El downloading himself and was chased by the police before the planet ended. Before the planet exploded, Brainiac finished downloading himself. Clark's archenemy is Brainiac because of this reason. Brainiac came to Earth and attacked Superman, who he knew was Jor-El's son from Krypton. Brainiac made copies of itself.

BRAINICAT makes his forst apperance in the DC Super-Pets book: THE AMAZING MINI-MUTTS

Capstone, a leading publisher of children's books and digital products and services, announces the publication of its highly anticipated new chapter book, The Amazing Mini-Mutts, which stars the pets of its nationwide student writing contest winner Cloey Nyberg.

Cloey, now a fourth grader at Pyrtle Elementary School in Lincoln, Neb., was selected from more than 450 national entries. Cloey's fictional characters, Luna Moon (a Beagle with super-sniffing talents) and Sprightly Steve (a Pomeranian/Chihuahua with lightning speed), are featured characters in The Amazing Mini-Mutts, illustrated by Eisner Award-winning comic book artist Art Baltazar.

"We were so impressed with Cloey's fun and well-written story. She's an exceptionally talented kid and we're thrilled for readers to meet Luna Moon and Sprightly Steve in this exciting, new adventure," said Michael Dahl, Editorial Director of Capstone Fiction.

In The Amazing Mini-Mutts, Luna Moon and Sprightly Steve join the courageous Super-Pets, Krypto the Super-Dog and Ace the Bat-Hound, at the Bowwow Boot Camp, a school for up-and-coming pups with powers. They're ready to show this new breed of heroes a few old tricks. Unfortunately, Brainicat, an evil cyborg kitty from the planet Colu, wants to teach these canine cadets a lesson as well.

The "My Pet is Super!" contest asked children to write an article for the world's most famous imaginary newspaper, The Daily Planet, about why their own pet is super. Cloey will receive the original illustration of her characters as well as copies of the new book.
