But that's OK, the ends definitely justified the means in this case. Top notch dramatic Superhero fair. Morrison does it again.

The action is ACTION. And everything else is action waiting to happen. Good god does Morrison write a great Lex Luthor. THIS is EXACTLY the kind of Lex Luthor who makes me like reading Superman. And the fact that he's early Luthor makes him more interesting. His wild conspiracy theories, and casual in-control attit...
