As Lex Luthor rises to the highest office in the nation, Superman must fight for truth in a world that no longer trusts him.
When Lex Luthor is elected President of the United States, Superman faces a threat unlike any he has encountered before. Protected by political power, public support, and the authority of his office, Luthor becomes an adversary who cannot be defeated through strength alone. As crises escalate and allies are tested, Superman must defend the ideals he represents in a world increasingly shaped by his greatest enemy.
As public trust erodes and alliances fracture, Superman and his allies are pushed to their limits confronting threats that grow increasingly dangerous, unpredictable, and far-reaching. What begins as a battle for truth becomes a cascade of escalating crises that test not only Superman’s power, but his belief in humanity itself.
Written by a generation of defining Superman creators including Jeph Loeb, Joe Kelly, and Greg Rucka, this collection captures a volatile era where power goes unchecked—and the consequences are felt across the entire DC Universe.
Collects Superman #160-168, Adventures of Superman #582-590, Action Comics #769-777, Superman: The Man of Steel #104-112, Detective Comics #756, Superman 80-Page Giant #3, Superman: Where is Thy Sting #1, Superman: Emperor Joker #1, and Superman: Lex 2000 #1
