Borrowed this one from the public library as well.

See my short note on the book:

I've read Superman in JLA but I'm pretty sure that I never read a standalone Superman comic. I just don't find him very exciting. He's too "all american". The art on this really sucked me in. Carlos Meglia is amazing. I LOVE his style. It's kind Roger Rabbitesque but add in a bunch of sci-fi elements, really cool weapons, robots and cool clothing. So I'll be looking for more of his stuff. It's just so cool that it seems it wouldn't be bad even if the story sucked.

As far as story goes this was fun and it added to the Superman legend. It got me wondering who makes those kinds of decisions? Who gets to change things up? Is this now part of the Superman canon or is it just a one shot/what if kinda thing?

Anyway it was good and it's beautiful so I'm really glad I bought it (since I don't buy many graphic novels). ( )
