Président Lex Luthor #[nn]

Lex Luthor stands front and center on this striking cover — bald, self-assured, and dressed in a sharp suit with a campaign button pinned to his lapel — framed against a sweeping American flag that makes his presidential ambitions unmistakably clear. It's a compelling portrait of DC's most dangerous intellect stepping onto the political stage, brought together here by writers J.M. DeMatteis, Joe Kelly, Jeph Loeb, Greg Rucka, and Mark Schultz. This 2014 Urban Comics edition collects that ambitious arc in a handsome French-language volume that any fan of Luthor at his most calculating will want on their shelf.
