Future State: Superman vs. Imperious Lex #1

In the future, Earth stands as the seat of the United Planets, where Lois Lane presents a bold petition: Lex Luthor’s planet, Lexor, seeks membership. Superman argues for inclusion, recalling how Luthor once built a robotic army to plunder other worlds—only for Superman to dismantle it, collapsing Lexor’s economy. Now, with Luthor vowing revenge, the fate of Lexor hangs in the balance. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Steve Pugh, with colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and letters by Carlos M. Mangual, the cover by Yanick Paquette captures the tension of a galaxy on edge.
