All-star Superman
I mean it's the definitive Superman story so obviously it's a great Lex Luthor story too

Secret Origin, Up up and Away, Last Son
I'm grouping together these Geoff Johns stories because 1) I think he's a great Lex writer and 2) you see the full scope of Lex. Beloved Public figure, the crash out, and the now disgraced Supervillain
Lex is a real bastard across all of these

Superman Adventures #27, How Much can one Man hate?
This run in general is the best use of CEO Lex as a villain but this issue specifically is Millars best Superman work and an excellent character study

Superman Birthright
If we're looking at every Superman origin based on their Lex then this is definitely #1

Superman #416, the Einstein connection
Every year on March 14th Lex escapes prison. Superman chases him around the world to figure out why

Forever Evil
Lex leads a team of Supervillains to save the world from the crime syndicate. This does a great job at highlighting his more noble side while still showing him as pretty cutthroat

Superman #292, The Luthor nobody knows
Where Elliot S! Maggin really got great at writing Lex. This issue serves as a wonderful examination of the Lex Superman relationship and why the Smallville connection is a meaningful part of their history

Superman #149, The Death of Superman
Jerry Siegels greatest Lex Luthor story, doesn't pull any punches. The silver age style hides how brutal this really is.
Better then the 90s one

Lexor saga
These issues Silver age Superman at its best. Alongside the first appearance of the Luthor Brainiac duo, this is the first time we see Lex in a position of societal power, something that obviously becomes very pronounced later

Adventure comics #271, How Luthor met Superboy
The silver age origin and debut of the name Lex. Jerry Siegel himself was the one to depict the two as old friends, people clown on the hair thing but if you read the issue there's clearly a lot of ego at play

Black Ring
The final Post Crisis/Pre Flashpoint Lex story. This has Lex as the protagonist and offers a compelling character study of him, with the final fight her serving as a satisfying conclusion to their rivalry

JLA: Rock of ages
First time Grant Morrison ever wrote Lex. You need a Supervillain team up on a list like this and this is a seriously great one

Future State: Superman vs Imperious Lex 1-3
Lex, didn't anyone tell you that you can't run a planet like a company
Hilarious satire, and love to see Lexor here

Action comics #23: Europe at war
The first appearance of (just)Luthor. He's great immediately. What this issue highlights is that Lex always represents the evil of the era. In the 40s that was someone trying to cause war in the world.

Superman #17: When titans Clash
An early golden age issue and the first time Lex ever gets powers. Really shows off how his ego was his biggest weakness, even this early

Superman #282, Lex Luthor, Super Scalp Hunter!
The Great Elliot S! Maggins first time writing Luthor. This is the debut of the iconic 70s jumpsuit, really petty Lex

Ending is one of the most cold blooded things I've ever seen Lex do

Obviously silver age stuff is great, but Jimmy getting involved in a spy war because he dated a girl who ended up being a cobra cultist is peak Jimmy Olsen

Your favourite thing after Krypto right?
comment in response to
post
Probably yeah, shame really. But DC are bad at Superman omnis in general because why doesn't Johns have one yet
comment in response to
post
Also on Rogol
Idk man, I prefer Krypton being "cleansed" as a result of bigotry then it being an imperial empire that gets itself destroyed
Still prefer the traditional/Absolute take but still

Maybe I'm being mean but idk if the 70 year old should be writing the book about youthful Superman

Phantom's sucked and I dropped WF too. JLU is good but not great, really liked last days though

President Lex has been vaguely acknowledged recently so it is canon, crazy thing to think about

This issue implied Lex was kneeling for this dude when he was president

Yeah it feels like Mark getting a perfect girl who has no problems with him and doesn't cause him any stress

It's not even like it's a sequel to an unrelated movie that people liked. It's the one you've spent almost 20 years treating like a black sheep and that you can't find on Disney plus

Why did they make it a sequel to the incredible hulk bro

I've grown increasingly sick of sympathetic villains who have a point. I'd rather the hero have a point and the villain be a dick, you know

I dropped the show last week, Peter is just too dull for me to want to keep up sadly
