(Putting this review on all related reads from the day in this series)

This was a truly awesome read. I was so glad to fall into it, and so glad to see each issue focused a little more specifically on a ton of side characters especially. The story was lovely, from the lie, the reveals, and the ending hope, with not ever believing it was over. It was, also, hilarious to see Lois never once believe that Superman was Clark Kent. Ever. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/262359-amanda?shelf=currently-reading# (

This is hands-down the best Superman story I've ever read. It's exactly how I'd imagine Superman going out, not in a big but ultimately lame fist fight with Doomsday but as a savior of life. (

Grant Morrison, writer of All-Star Superman, is able to perform something that is very nearly magical with this book that constantly hearkens back to the character's past while simultaneously looking to his future. He takes a character that is trite and overexposed and makes him seem fresh and vibrant again. Brilliant. Morrison is aided by Frank Quitely's fantastic art--cartoonish and expressive one moment, reserved and natural the next. This is a book for anyone who wonders how superheroes could ever be cool. (

A satisfying finish to the volume. Each story is a bit disjointed, but then as I read on, I found that they were more connected then I originally perceived. Very nice ending to the story. (

Volume 1 of Morrison's and Quitely's brilliant work ranked among my top ten graphic novels of 2008, and this volume may earn the same distinction this year. Morrison concludes his imaginative, early 21st century updating of the goofy circa 1950s Superman science fiction tales as the dying hero journeys to the Bizarro Universe and discovers other Kryptonians bent on conquest. After seventy years of Man of Steel stories, Morrison and Quitely have created quite possibly the finest Superman tale of all time. (
