  2. This was always one of my favorite imaginary tales. I think it's because I've always harbored the secret wish that Lex Luthor and Superman would one day reconcile and be friends again. I think there's a Bronze Age story in which that happened, but I'd love to see a whole story arc, or at least continuing reference to such an event. Lex is a great villain, of course, but I think his story deserves more than villainy, in the end.
    I also really enjoyed the text piece about some of the best imaginary stories. There were some very good ones in there.

  3. I also liked the idea in this story that it was the loving kindness of the Kents that helped Lex reform and become a "good guy". Those Kents --- they're something!
