DC Preview: He’s Back! The “Real” Lex Luthor Returns in Superman #25

Remember when Lex Luthor lost his memories? Well, neither does he. But soon he will!

On April 23, in a milestone issue, Lex returns to his full, angry glory in Superman #25. Some of our absolute favorite creatives are on-deck for this story, including Joshua Williamson, Jamal Campbell, Dan Mora and Eddy Barrows.

If you’ve been following along the Super-family’s adventures in both Action Comics and Superman, you’ll know that Luthor lost his memory during the “House of Brainiac” storyline. We saw a glimpse of a kinder side of him over the last few issues, but now Superman’s greatest arch-nemesis is back.

More Superman #25 details provided by DC:

As part of DC’s “Summer of Superman” publishing initiative, this oversized milestone issue (written by Williamson, with art by Mora, Barrows and Eber Ferreira) features the return of the true Lex Luthor to DC All In. Superman and Superwoman are still reeling from their epic battles against Doomsday and Time Trapper, but a bigger problem just appeared 
 Lex Luthor is back! Lex’s memory was erased during the House of Brainiac arc, but now Superman’s greatest enemy has returned with a twist, and he’s ready for a fight to control Supercorp and Metropolis. Superman #25 is a celebration of the last two years of the challenges and triumphs of the Last Son of Krypton. It’s also a key component of DC’s Summer of Superman and sets up a brand-new storyline for the Man of Steel and his allies.
