What the...Huh??...Not sure what I missed along the way, but this story did exactly bupkis for me. One of the most critically acclaimed and popularly embraced graphic novels of the past decade; a landmark portrait of THE iconic superhero…and I couldn’t rustle up a damn to give about it. Honestly, I’m a little crushed. Granted, as I’ve mentioned before, Superman is not among my favorite spandexer. I tend to gravitate towards grittier heroes with more snarl to them, and often find the Man of Steel’s treacly, “Dudley Do-right” way of handling his business low on the entertainment scale. However, I really was looking forward to this, given the lofty esteem with which it is held, and I don’t think my general lack of enthusiasm for the character was much of a factor in my reaction to the story. So…After a nettlesome encounter with All-Star Superman, Vol. 1 that left me a rather disgruntled and disillusioned fanboy, I came to this hoping that the second half of the story would come together and create a more favorable opinion of the completed work. Didn’t happen. Second verse, same as the first. MY GRIEVANCES:1. The writing. First and foremost, Grant Morrison did not impress. This is the same gentleman who knocked me assward with his elegant, piquant prose in Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us about Being Human. The man can flat out compose, and ranks high among the most original and talented writers working in the medium. But here, his work felt stilted and lacked elegance or any emotional punch. It was completely missing the wow factor. 2. Worst.Luthor.Ever. This was my biggest gripe. I don’t know who this guy is or where he came from, but this is NOT Lex Luthor:\
  \
I’m not just referring to the atrocious art featuring the Fonzi collar and the Elvis, “thank you very much” lip-curl. No, bad art I can forgive…mostly. I’m talking about the character himself, what he says, what he does, and how he comports himself while doing so. Morrison writes Luthor as a petulant dork. This is unacceptable. Lex Luthor is on the shortlist of “Most Likely to Be the Coolest Villain Ever,” and this series has him relegated to the role of some bratty science nerd with a schoolyard grudge. In short, I detested this aspect of the story. 3. The Unsupporting Cast. In addition to the hackle reddening/raising portrayal Lex, I wasn’t enamored with the remaining supporting cast members either. I get that Lois is despondent over Superman’s pending death, but she just came across as so frail and clingy that it irked me. Weak and helpless is not a good look for her. Jimmy and Perry are utterly forgettable, and Steve Lombard deserves special mention because he was an irritant in every panel in which he showed up (which thankfully there are not many). 4. The Art. This is the most subjective of areas so take this as you will, but Frank Quitely’s art offends my personal aesthetic. My eyes and his work do not get along. Beginning with Volume 1, I was immediately put off by his rendering Superman to look like a retired NFL lineman gone to flab, \
  \
And even ignoring the pudgy fetish, so many of the other panels just seem…off. Look at this shot of Supes,\
  \
Those legs do not match that torso, the face is all jaw...and is that a saggy, oldman bulge in his grandpa trunks. I won’t even address Lex and his World War I cavalry pants with the puffy thighs and the knee-high boots. Nothing about it appealed to me. THE POSITIVES:All the above bitching notwithstanding, the there were some things I thought were good, even excellent. For example, there is a terrific moment in which Superman talks a troubled girl out of committing suicide. \
  \
This was a nice symbolic instant in which Superman’s words are really being spoken to all of us and sum up his unique optimism about humanity. In addition, the climax was very moving and Supes final gift to his adopted world was wonderfully done. \
  \
 For me, it was just too little, too late. 2.0 stars.

  If the nuisances from my past are coming back as killers… …what happens when the killers come back?\
It was 1986, and the Silver Age of Comic Books were coming to an end.It’s an odd feeling to remember that, since I am used to think about the Silver Age as something of the 70s, and always realizing that it ended just 4 years before reaching the 90s… it’s an odd feeling indeed.Julius Schwartz, the now iconic editor who updated to the Silver Age so many characters like Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman and The Atom, is a true synonym of that era, at least in the titles of DC Comics. Therefore, it was just right that Julius Schwartz would come out with the basic idea for this iconic story, that Alan Moore developed the bold narrative, along with the outstanding illustrations of Curt Swan, and the great inks of George Pérez &amp; Kurt Schaffenberger. It was the last story of Superman… the last story of the Silver Age of Comic Books.And as any “last” story of an era, ending it… and bringing a new one… since nothing truly ends… just transforms… the tale is a bittersweet merging of both ages. In this case, the story contains a closure of the still campy adventure of the Silver Age, but integrating an overture of the yet dark violence of the Bronze Age to come.The Silver Age ended yesterday and the Man of Tomorrow cried!\
  GOOD-BYE, SUPERMAN! WE’LL MISS YOU!\

  Nobody has the right to kill. – Not you, not Superman… Especially not Superman!\
It’s 1997, ten years later of the last sighting of Superman. Lois Lane got married, now she is Mrs. Jordan Elliot, and she had a child. A young reporter from the Daily Planet interviews her about her recollections of the last days of Superman…The goofy enemies of Superman like Bizarro, The Prankster and Toyman gone berserk in an unbelievable outbreak of genocides, homicides and even suicides. And the close people to Superman were starting to get killed since his secret identity was exposed in the middle of all that crazy violence. So, the menace was clear, if the “absurd” villains were able of such gruesome acts……how far could go his greatest foes?Lex Luthor, bald mad scientist (still Silver Age, remember?) is assimilated against his will, into an unholy fusion, with Brainiac’s brain, evolving him in the worst of both worlds, with a clear goal……to kill Superman and all his loved ones without mercy!The Legion of Super-Villains made a time trip from the 30th Century, to have front seats in the fall of Superman, since it’s an already historic fact in their time period!And the worst is still to come!Superman is forced to take in, his still alive closest friends, and making a desperate last stand in his Fortress of Solitude, but even him won’t be able to save them all, since even his own safety is guaranteed!But remember……the tale is a bittersweet merging of both ages… …the story contains an overture of the yet dark violence of the Bronze Age to come, but also a closure of the still campy adventure of the Silver Age.
