Superman: Lost by Christopher Priest, Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz has been telling a story of Clark Kent, Superman, who spent twenty years away from Earth, only to come back mere minutes after he had left. And had involved himself with business a galaxy away. And had seemingly given up hope of making it home. getting involved with another unnamed world for whom he played a Superman. Even if they didn't all want it that way. As at least one part of the population seems to be made up of alien Ayn Randians.

Lex Luthor has postulated that humanity would be better off without a Superman, so that they could find their own way, and develop their own solutions rather than rely on the crutch of a Superman. And that seems to be the viewpoint of The Republic.

And in Superman: Lost #6, published tomorrow, Superman has managed to do what he could never do on Earth, to do the impossible, and unite the entire population.

Just maybe not in the direction he had been expecting. You know, if Lex Luthor discovers this approach, maybe he might just change his entire approach? All he needs is a bit of fear, suspicion and populism, and there is lots of that around these days.

Maybe, just maybe, this is The American Way in a galaxy far, far away…
