Fresh off his dynamic run on Superman, Azzarello teams up with Bermejo for a bold story in which readers get a glimpse into the mind of Lex Luthor. Long considered one of DCšs 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.'"
