While not quite as strong as the last issue (and really a western themed Mr. Mind induced Lex Luthor hallucination was always going to be difficult to follow up) the fun yet always evil adventures of Lex Luthor and creepy Lois-bot continue apace with the overall quality that readers of this Paul Cornell/Pete Woods series have come to expect. Honestly he makes an ongoing Lex Luthor comic look so easy, it can lead a person to wonder why its taken this long to happen. This issue brings fan favorite Deathstroke in for some shenanigans but its really the villain who makes his entrance at issue’s end that gets me excited. As a certain episode of Justice League Unlimited proved, Lex and this villain can make for really fun opponents and I am sure under Cornell’s capable hands this will continue to prove true. The Superboy tease included as a back-up was OK, and features a last page appearance by possibly my favorite DC character, but its choice of in media res storytelling does it little favor. Still it does not hurt the overall strength of this title to badly. Whether a long time DC fanboy or a complete Superman newb, this comic will entertain and delight with its twisted look into the life and mind of DC’s most famous, and arguably, compelling villain.
