Scans_Daily

It's really starting to annoy me about how nobody anywhere is talking about this amazing story, focusing instead on the whole "Superman denounces his citizenship" back-up.

This was the second greatest part of this story. I'd wanted to post the very greatest, but it would have maxed out the scan limit here. Namely, the entire section on Lex tormenting Superman, who--as an alien godlike being--couldn't possibly understand loss.

In that scene, Lex going from seeming like the most badass character in the world to the callous dickhole he always was. The heartwrenching irony is that he honestly had no idea that he's genuinely hurting Clark, and when he does learn... oh, it's so great.

That's the moment we learn that, thank to the Kents, Superman is more human than Lex could ever be or even understand. I wanted to hug the issue right there.
