Art Notes

As the sun sets on Metropolis, it seems that the city will be forever changed with the arrival of Doomsday. Lex Luthor has just unleashed this genetically engineered and constantly evolving villain to wreak havoc on the people of this fine city, in hopes to draw out the greatest Super Hero ever known.

Superman – Man of Steel by Thomas Kinkade Studios celebrates the release of one of the most iconic issues produced by DC Comics – Superman: The Death of Superman.

In Superman – Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton meets his two greatest enemies – The Ultimate, better known as Doomsday, and Lex Luthor, who can be seen standing on top of The Daily Planet with his vengeful fist raised in the air.
