Paul Cornell talks Lex Luthor and Action Comics

News

Just came across an interview he did, and here’s an exerpt!

“There’s something almost admirable about Lex. He’s the modern Prometheus, who wants to steal fire from the all-powerful beings and give it to humanity. He worked hard to be what he is, and Superman was just born that way. He’s the proletariat confronting a really nice aristocrat. The trouble is, Lex has this one glaring flaw, a very human one, and it makes him do the most terrible things. One empathizes with him while always regretting the choices he makes.”

Sound cool? I think so! Can’t wait for his run to start!
