Product Description:
The complete 12-part saga from SUPERMAN #'s 204-215 written by Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS) with sensational art by comics' hottest artist Jim Lee (BATMAN: HUSH, ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER, Uncanny X-Men) collected together for the first time in the oversized Absolute format!
A cataclysmic event has struck the Earth. Millions of people have vanished without a trace. No one is left unaffected -- not even Superman! But after a year, Superman is left with many questions. For a hero who tries to have all the answers, it's torture. And, just as the action heats up and the stakes are raised, one huge question emerges: Just how far is Superman willing to go "For Tomorrow?"
This Absolute edition includes an all-new cover by Lee, a Jim Lee Sketchbook, and other bonus features.

I received this edition as a gift. Amazon sent a copy that was missing the shrink wrap and had a dented and cracked slip cover. After returning it for an exchange, Amazon sent me another copy in even worst condition. It looked like someone had read it, than tied it to the back of their car and dragged it around the block. Amazon informed me to return the second damaged copy and they would refund the purchase price. Since then I've noticed that Amazon has increased the purchase price. I've had good ... Read More

jim lee's artwork is really the only reason to have this as an absolute edition. i hate talking down on superman, but this is one of the worst storie's i've "ever" touched. i would normally leave something worth being in plain sight out in the open around my home. something you couldn't help walking by, & wondering what it's all about. not this book. this book is going into the office among all the other obscure material, & not in prominent display status. no this book will never be looked at by anybody ...

This has to be, hands down, one of the most confusing Superman stories I have ever read. Basically a collection of the 12 part mini series of the same name, this thing HURT. As already covered, a lot of the essential plot devices don't come together until later in the series, and even when it happens, you wind up saying... "HUH?!?!?" I'm not going to sit here and spoil it for those that actually want to read it, you brave souls... but I will basically sum up my BIGGEST problem with the story with a question... ... Read More

This is a tough book to love. First of all it barely functions on its own--the story directly follows events in the Superman issues that preceeded it, which depicted mass "vanishings" of people from all over the world, including Lois Lane, and Superman's inability to stop that or even understand what was happening. So if you haven't read those stories, when you start reading this book it takes few chapters for you to get over the "huh??" factor. Add to that the non-linear storytelling and you get even more confused. ... Read More

Brian Azzarello is an amazing writer. This story is written amazingly.
Jim Lee may very well be the best comic book artist of our time. He may be the best artist for comics, ever.
Together, these two create one of the most exciting Superman stories ever. Azzarello finds a way to challenge the man of steal, without reaching too much. Jim Lee always does justice to the heroes. His work on Batman was the best Batman has ever received, and I think the same can be said for Superman.
