In "The Black Ring Part Four," Lex Luthor and his team race across the globe to claim a mysterious energy source, now in Uganda, where they're shadowed by the cunning Gorilla Grodd. When Grodd's apes seize RoboLois and he launches a brutal assault—beheading Luthor only to discover the head is a decoy—the true threat unfolds as Luthor infiltrates Grodd’s stronghold to seize the Black Ring. With a chopper escape and a final, desperate shot from Grodd’s raygun, the fate of Luthor hangs in the balance. Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by Sean Chen, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by Brad Anderson, and letters by Rob Leigh, the cover by David Finch and Richard Friend captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
