Lex Luthor: Diabolical Genius



Lex Luthor is many things: Inventor. Genius. Criminal Mastermind. He’s also barely a teenager.

Lex Luthor is many things: Inventor. Genius. Criminal mastermind. He’s also
barely a teenager.

When his father, Lionel Luthor, is thrown into prison by none other than that meddling blue Boy Scout Superman, the heir apparent to the Luthor crime empire must find a way to get his revenge. And Lex has the perfect plan. With the help of his infamous bodyguard Slade Wilson, he is going to kidnap Lois Lane. Lex knows that Superman would trade just about anything in exchange for Lois’s safe return—maybe even Superman’s ultimate weakness.

But what happens when Clark calls in his broody friend Batman instead?

What follows is an action-packed game of cat-and-mouse from writer Christof Bogacs (Under Kingdom) and artist Valerio Chiola sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats!
