After reading this comic run, I am now extremely disappointed with every single superman we've seen on the silver screen. I grew up thinking he was just a boring strong guy who punched the bad guys harder than they punched him, but the essence of this guy is way more than that.

The story is about trying to do the right thing, and trying to find the good in every person you meet. At the same time, there are moments of great storytelling, great character writing and incredible visuals illustrated by the legend Frank Quitely. A great story that can be read in a couple of hours.
