I don't typically like Superman stories, try as I might. But this one isn't hard to enjoy.It's not often you get to see Superman hitting bottom, and the creators really pulled it off nicely. The first half of this book details his slide into despair and self-destruction, and really says a great deal about loss. We can't always live up to the unrealistically high ideals we tend to promote.This story proves that Superman has a great deal of humanity, more than most other superheroes out there. It's always a good thing to see heroes fail, because it's their reaction that defines who they really are.
