Superman in Doomsday Clock

[Miles To Go]

Yeah, Lex is the one with cancer. Lois fans can rest easy. He's bargaining for a cure.

Yeah, that's good to hear...though I still don't quite think that's the end of it.

Lois is OK i am OK.

It is a bit sad. I wanted more of hero Luthor. I guess he is turning back to villainy.

Cool covers.

Sweet, that's totally ozymandias's wrist on Lex's shoulder!

I like that Lex cover, but methinks the artist tried to imagine what Hackman Lex's wardrobe would be in 2017.

He has been dressing a bit more flamboyantly lately

Lex with cancer? I think that I heard this previosly, something of the old continuity...

APOKOLIPS ARMOR FAULT? One simple human with something that only Superhumans can wear without problem..

Well it was nice reading stories with good Lex

[Sacred Knight]

It was meh. It had a few good moments but in the end you never take away a superhero's arch-nemesis. Lex Luthor is evil at his core.

Now, I would love to see this tried again on a Superman villain who wasn't as key to Superman's mythos in a villainous role as Lex is. I still say do this with Kenny Braverman. Reveal in this continuity he didn't die, he was simply imprisoned. Found peace and enlightenment while incarcerated and eventually is released for comic book reasons and tries to atone for past crimes by doing good deeds as Conduit. He could be a good Azrael-like character for Superman.

Lex meeting Ozymandias is cool and all, but the REAL secret of the cover is that that glass is full of piss.

[Embryonic Superman]

Yeah, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm not ready for Lex to turn heel again. Part of me hopes that by the end of Doomsday Clock he survives the temptation and chooses the side of the angels, which will represent the ultimate victory of Superman's philosophy over the nihilism of Watchmen. Lex being a heroic figure who constantly stumbles but ultimate catches himself has been one of the most delightful aspects of the Rebirth era.

Its based on stuff revealed at SDCC. At the panel Johns revealed a panel of an x-ray of a human skull showing a tumor, with Johns saying someone is sick in the story. As time has gone on Lex has become the favorite candidate to be that character. Lois was (I guess still technically is, its just unlikely) a candidate, but Lex making deals with devils suggests he's desperate. And being seriously ill is a good enough reason, and a better one than most, to be desperate.

I think that'd more represent the ultimate victory of silly over comic books. You can't sacrifice archvillain Lex to conquer something as relatively petty (IMHO) as 80s Watchmen's philosophy. If nihilism lost or is a loser, it lost in 1938, not in Doomsday Clock.

It's granny's peach tea!
