☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free In "The Curse of Superman," Grant Morrison and Gene Ha deliver a mind-bending twist on the Man of Steel’s legacy, as Earth 23’s Superman finds himself pitted against Lex Luthor—only to join forces with him against a terrifying variant of Superman born from a malevolent thought-creation across the multiverse. With Gene Ha’s striking art and Art Lyon’s vivid colors, this 2012 issue redefines the hero’s mythos in a story that lingers long after the final page.
