Durante esta parte de la historia, Superman se convierte en una súper amenaza para los ciudadanos de Metrópolis cuando las revelaciones de Lex Luthor lo convierten ante sus ojos en un nefasto extraterrestre sin corazón. Esto afecta profundamente en las emociones del Hombre del Mañana frente a la nueva reacción de la ciudad ante su presencia.

Some of the richest emotional moments I've read in a superhero comic (which is only saying so much in my relatively young comic-reading career, but still).

Clark across the street? Misunderstood Lex? Who's got my tissues?

Maybe my least favorite issue so far, but still progressing the story.

The Daily Planet staff are even more conniving than Lex...

[Mikey Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

we get to look deeper into Clark and Lex’s childhood relationship. Lex has seemingly erased any existence of his connection with Smallville, but Superman must learn the truth.
