    This issue is a little different. Instead of being a Silver Age type story, instead it's just an addition to the main plot.
     
    Clark's interview with Lex that we were told about earlier finally goes underway. We get see alot of how Luthor's mind works and how he treats his death sentence for multiple crimes agains humanity. It really shows off Luthor's personality. And shows his reasoning for hating Superman so much.
     
    Not everything's quiet and easy, though. The Parasite breaks from his binds and incites a riot within the Maximum security prison. Oh, and we find out that Luthor secretly draws on his eyebrows (Well it's not like he can grow them).  
     
    This is another one of the really good books that really make the Kent/Supes identity really work. Kind of like Birthright.

    I was entertained, to say the least.

      "There's no deep psychology behind the struggle between Superman and me. It's all very simple" - with this statement it's clear to presume that Morrison only focused the relationship between Superman and Lex Luthor as rivals or Superman being the sole reason of why Lex couldn't achieve his greatest goal, world's domination (Lex's words), but I dare say that there's indeed a deep psychology between these two faces of the same coin, it's not all that simple as Morrison leads us to believe, in fact...
