Lasting Changes for Lex Luthor in Paul Cornell's Action Comics?

News

More interesting news coming out of 2010’s San Diego Comic Con:

Another fan asked about whether Lex Luthor will get to battle Superman at the end of his journey. “One of the things I really love about this story is that we really leave Lex changed by it,” said Cornell. “It’s not a circular story. He does not end up as he started.”

I know companies and creators say this all the time, but I hope we see an evolution and progression with Lex through this arc. Not redemption mind you, but growth.

A fan asked all the panelist if they’d rather add new villains to the Super-line or to bring back old ones.

“Personally, I’d like to add,” said Cornell. “I think there’s some wonderful rogues in there, but let’s try and expand a bit. I like creating new villains.”

I think this is great news. A mix of established DC guest stars and new characters that can go toe-to-toe with Lex would be great and lead the character on a compelling journey for readers.
