Lex Luther: Man of Steel #1

This long-awaited title from Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo tells the story of Superman from the very different perspective of his archenemy Lex Luthor. To the world at large, Superman has always been viewed as the ultimate superhero, but to Lex Luthor, he is nothing more than an alien threat set on a course to bring destruction to the earth. In this series, viewpoints are reversed, and Superman is cast as the villain, and Luthor a hero who will stop at nothing to save his planet.

Will Deadshot ever be free of the life he so desperately wants to leave behind? Christos N. Gage, Steve Cummings, and Jimmy Palmiotti have the answers.
