Stories

  • The Black Ring Part Two · 30 pages

    Lex is forced to dream various scenarios by Mister Mind: A caveman bringing fire to his people, Dr. Frankenstein, a western sheriff, and Super-Lex. But Lex is able to fashion the dreams himself, and eventually is able to take control and kick Mister Mind off of the building's roof. Despite not knowing who is behind Mister Mind, Luthor continues his quest for the Black Lantern ring energy, and hires a guide to the first location.

Publisher’s description

When Lex Luthor finally regained control of LexCorp, he thought he had everything he wanted. But in BLACKEST NIGHT, he briefly became an Orange Lantern and got a taste of true power. Now he'll do anything – anything – to get that power back. Buckle in for a greatest hits tour of the DCU's most wanted as Lex Luthor begins an epic quest for power, all brought to you by new ongoing writer Paul Cornell (Dr. Who, Captain Britain and MI-13) and artist Pete Woods (WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON), with covers by David Finch (BRIGHTEST DAY, Ultimatum)!
