Superman has been called many things, from the defender of Truth, Justice and the American way to the Big Blue Boy Scout. In the new 5-issue miniseries LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL, he’ll be called something he never has before: a dangerous threat to all humanity!

Fresh off his dynamic run on SUPERMAN, Brian Azzarello teams up with Lee Bermejo (BATMAN/DEATHBLOW) for a bold story in which readers get a glimpse into the mind of Lex Luthor. Long considered one of DC’s most vile villains, MAN OF STEEL reveals why Luthor chooses to be the proverbial thorn in Superman’s side — simply put, to save humanity from an untrusted alien being. Or, as Azzarello himself puts it, “In this story, Superman is the villain.”
