Ratings and reviews

Truly excellent tale of reimagining The Man of Tomorrow among many of his eternally retold story, through every era of our own. Timeless and always inspiring the readers to do good with enough courage and bravery. Hope will never die, as long as Superman is around. And we can do good things towards others, no matter how bad our world is. Planet Earth in our reality will never be perfect, but at least we can make it better, one step at a time. Excellent, DC Comics!

Long story short, I had to force myself not to binge read this masterpiece in one night. Absolutely incredible. Beautifully drawn, masterfully written. Highly recommended. Would definitely re-read this again. If there is a Superman story to adapt it is this one. Hands down.

I was NOT a Superman fan, but this story is a must read. I recommend it to everyone I know because it's more than just a great comic, it's a fantastic story. It is, by far, the best origin story in the history of the character.
