NOTE FROM DAVE:
Superman has been called many things,
from the defender of Truth, Justice and the American Way
to the Big Blue Boy Scout.
In a new five-issue miniseries, “LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL,”
he’ll be called something he never has before:
a dangerous threat to all humanity!
Coming in March, a new series exploring the Luthor-Supe
antagonism from Lex’s perspective.
In other words, Superman is the bad guy this time!


The Top 10 Things
Lex Hates About Superman


10> I’d be popular, too, if I had some sycophant reporter like

Clark Kent brown-nosing every headline.

9> He never offers to help fix all the ricochet bullet holes he causes in the secret lair.

8> Alien battle armor is no substitute for flying on your own.

7> Everyone knows that “Kryptonian Pasta Salad” he brings to every potluck is just regular pasta salad with green food coloring in it, but no one ever calls him on it!

6> That big jerk is always hogging all the glory, when it’s painfully obvious to see that the *real* heroes here are delicious Hostess Brand Fruit Pies in Blackberry, Cherry and Lemon!

5> He advocates the selling of indulgences. (Oh, sorry, that’s what *Martin* Luther hates about Superman.)

4> No matter how many times they reinvent my character, I never get to look that good in spandex.

3> Not only does he thwart my evil plans, but the SOB cheats at poker too!

2> He holds up Metropolis traffic for hours with his so-called “funeral procession” and he won’t even stay dead!

and the Number 1 Thing Lex Hates About Superman…

1> He never wants to cuddle.
