    Are you there God?It's me, Lex Luthor

    Lex Luthor is back!While not as powerful as he thought he might be, he still has the same rancorous mind.Killing fired employees and stuff like that.Like I said in my early review, from now on spoiler free reviews. 
    My opinion about this issue was 'that it's awesome but not a big bang'.Paul Cornell is a brilliant writer.The art was fine too, Pete Woods is a great artist but David Finch is better from my point of view, who has done the cover art for this one.
    Lex Luthor now has became a power greed person and seeks for the lantern rings.He previously have worn the orange lantern ring and now he's looking forward to get it back but also is interested into the black one, his assistant is also someone(or something) interesting.Lois who turned out to be a robot made from the technology of Brainiac.One thing that satisfies Mr.Luthor in this issue is the fact that Superman is gone so now he spies on Supergirl and Superboy who's now in Smallville at the Kent Farm. Okay maybe there was a little spoiling but not much.
    3.5 out of 5 stars.Hope to see more David Finch art in the near future.

This didn't happen, but thankfully, Lex is wants that power again.  The Good Best part of this issue is the fact Lex Luthor stars in it. I've never been the biggest Superman...
