The Lex Caliburnus is an epic 49-issue limited series that recontextualizes Lex Luthor—DC's greatest mind—not as Superman's nemesis, but as a tragic genius who builds an empire across 500+ years and multiple universes, only to discover he was manipulated all along.
Spanning medieval Camelot, Renaissance Latveria, modern Washington D.C., and a multiversal nexus, this psychological thriller follows Luthor as he engineers King Arthur's rise, mentors Doctor Doom, puppets a U.S. President, and orchestrates what he believes is his godhood—until Merlin reveals the ultimate trap: it was all a stasis simulation.
A prestige narrative merging the ambition of Sandman, the intrigue of Succession, and the noir sensibility of Blade Runner, The Lex Caliburnus asks the question DC has never answered: What if Lex Luthor's greatest nemesis wasn't Superman—but himself?

Project Notes
This is a personal project initiated on 12/29/2025. The architecture was initiated by André Maurice Davis.
We are at a period in media where inspiration oversaturates a pool of creation. Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a useful tool for parsing and integrating concepts that the common individual human mind is too overwhelmed to comprehend without assistance.
Rather than accept the rise of "AI Slop" as the inevitable demise of quality marketable content, Mr. Davis explores the synergistic possibilities yet to be experienced by embracing Artificial Intelligence through creative endeavors.
