Justice League: Darkseid War: Lex Luthor #1

Part of DC's sprawling Darkseid War event, this 2016 one-shot turns its full attention to Lex Luthor — and Francis Manapul's cover makes a striking case for why. Luthor looms enormous in heavy armor emblazoned with the glowing Omega symbol, Darkseid's own face emerging ghostlike above him, while radiating energy nodes frame the composition in an eerie, almost circuit-board pattern. Manapul, Bong Dazo, and Hi-Fi bring "The Omega Judgment" to life inside, promising a story that sits Luthor at the dangerous intersection of human ambition and godlike power.
