I agree that "Lena Thorul, Jungle Princess" is the better story, here, and that Lex Luthor is presented in a more "human" light than usual. It's that sort of thing that makes me believe that, someday, Lex and Superman may become good friends once again, as they were as teens.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read it already, may I suggest you read Superman #416, which was published not long before the Man Of Steel reboot.
DeleteThanks for pointing that one out. I'd read it years ago, but had forgotten it.
