Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor

In 2025, DC and the powerhouse team of writer Mark Waid and artist Bryan Hitch tackle a deceptively simple, character-driven premise: what happens when Lex Luthor discovers he has a terminal illness? This series strips away the cosmic threats and city-leveling battles to focus on Superman's complex, often adversarial relationship with his greatest foe, forcing the Man of Steel to confront the ultimate question of whether he would save a dying Lex Luthor. With Hitch's cinematic, hyper-detailed art grounding Waid's sharp, introspective script, Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor re-examines the core of the Superman mythos through a poignant, human lens.
