Justice League #52

In "That Which You Manifest Is Before You," Lex Luthor returns from Apokolips wearing Superman's symbol, claiming he's ready to become the hero he once scorned—but he still feels something is missing. Written by Dan Jurgens and illustrated by Tom Grummett, with inks by Danny Miki, Mark Morales, and Scott Hanna, this pivotal issue explores the chilling transformation of a man who believes he can remake himself in the image of his greatest rival. The cover by Paul Pelletier and Tony Kordos captures the unsettling shift in Luthor’s resolve.
