Ratings and reviews

I love the fact that the author has taken several story line through the Superman universe & come up with a possible history of the final years of Krypton. It explains several "holes" that a lot of people have been questioning.

The book was very hard to put down once Zod sized power. This booked showed that Kal-El / Clark Kent isn't the only 'super' being in his family!

I read this book years ago when it first came out. My sister got me a paperback copy for my birthday. I'm still waiting and hoping for the movie, it's an epic Tale that needs no changing to be put on film. (TV Show Exc.) I certainly think it needs to be done by a fan, honoring the traditions of the Superman family of yesterday. And ever expanding the Superman family for generations to come. I've been thinking about it and wanted to get me a digital copy so I can read it again.
