November 8, 2000: New Readers Flood to Metropolis this November
With Election Day tension mounting minute-by-minute, the question on every readers lips will be answered November 8. Readers will know the next president as the SUPERMAN: LEX 2000 one-shot hits the stands, and while this book is self-contained, it is also a "triangle" book, following in sequence with the regular Superman monthly titles, much like the fast-selling SUPERMAN: Y2K one-shot. According to Vice President -- Direct Sales Bob Wayne, "The presidential election storyline not only spills over from the one-shot into the monthly books, but will be referred to for some time. Readers who are sampling the Superman line with LEX 2000 for the first time in a while will come back for more. It's a great opportunity to bring even more regular readers into the goings-on in Metropolis."The momentum following the SUPERMAN: LEX 2000 continues throughout all the Superman titles this month as the prepercussions of the presidential election are felt throughout Metropolis and the rest of the DC universe. Follow the story completely as LEX 2000 continues in the following titles:
Firstly, in ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #586, Lex Luthor makes his first public appearance since the election as Satannus does his best to turn Metropolis into a living hell for the Man of Steel --using Luthor's just-ended campaign to diminish Superman's spirit. Can Rampage, Thorn or even Adversary resist the devil's temptation or will their souls be lost too? Find out in this issue written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Mike S. Miller, Jose Marzan, Jr. and Armando Durruthy with a cover by M. Miller.
Then, in SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #108, an escaping menace from the Phantom Zone tears through a ticker-tape parade in downtown Metropolis, resulting in a big battle between the monster and The Man of Steel in this tale by Mark Schultz, illustrated by Doug Mahnke, Paco Medina and Tom Nguyen with a cover by Mahnke.
Finally, ACTION COMICS #773 gives us the conclusion of a 2-part confrontation between Superman and Ra's al Ghul! What happens when Superman falls into the Lazarus Pit? It's been known to drive men mad, but what will it do to the Man of Steel, especially in light of recent events? Plus, the fate of Encantadora is revealed in this issue by Joe Kelly with art by Kano and Marlo Alquiza with a cover by Matt Haley!
