Jason Latour and Bryan Hitch Assemble the Interdimensional Council of Lex Luthors in Year of the Villain One-Shot
Lex Luthor is convening the Interdimensional Council of Lexes in an upcoming Year of the Villain one-shot in September. Jason Latour, Bryan Hitch, and Andrew Currie will create a one-shot, Lex Luthor: Year of the Villain #1, in which Lex takes a travels the multiverse and meets interesting other Lex Luthors… and then destroys them?!
In an interview, appropriately enough, on Multiversity, where the one-shot was EX-X-XCLUSIVELY revealed, Latour explains the concept:
So as we begin here we have a Lex that, thanks to the ongoing stuff in 'Year of the Villain,' has been changed to the point that he's unfamiliar even to himself in a lot of ways. Yet the goal of the book, in my mind, was to remind everyone who Lex is. So it seemed pretty obvious that he should have look in a bunch of mirrors—before he smashes them of course.
These Lexes are an interesting bunch, and they're targeted because they are potential threats to Apex Lex's big over-arching plan, sure—but also they're also threats to his sense of self. They represent questions he has about what he really wants. Which is important when you're the guy granting wishes. What is YOUR wish? So you can expect the whole gamut. From Imperius Lex to Lex Luthor: shoe salesman. From really sad and tragic to really fun.
