GREAT RAO! It’s the TOP TEN COMICS OF 2003 NUMBER FOUR!! BY CEASAR’S GHOST!!!

Well, as you can guess by the title, this entry in the slowest chart of all time has to do with BATMAN. No no, I kid. I kid ‘cos I love. The true star of this amazing number is in fact… LEX LUTHOR!

BY BOB HANEY! I hear you scream!

Yes, the bald one is in fact the star of SUPERMAN: RED SON, Mark Millar’s journey into the Man Of Steel’s silver age coolness and golden age communist leanings. I might have mentioned earlier that this was Superman done right, but looking at it once again…

I think we should all admit that, John Byrne’s ridiculous fat lech aside, everyone would rather be Luthor than Supes. I know I would. Who wouldn’t want to be the smartest human ever to exist, by golly? To confound grotesque alpha-male alien threats to human self-reliance at every turn? To cry noble tears at the feet of a true hero of the human way? None of this American Way Stuff And Nonsense for Lex Luthor, by crikey! If it was a Democrat-Republican race between Presidents Bartlett and Luthor, I’d vote Lex in 2004 every time! What a pity he’s gone mad.
