Reading this again now that I have a firmer grasp of the DC universe, Superman (outside of films), and my 'how to enjoy Morrison' breakthrough, this book is pretty amazing. My rating went from 2 stars to 4 stars and is just shy of five. The scope of imagination in this is a little staggering and there's so much in here that highlights the kind of person (and hero) Clark really is. It's a grandiose story that barely scratches the surface of Clark's potential. Hell, I even liked Quietly's art this time through, a feat I did not think possible until now.

The bestselling and critically acclaimed creative team of Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, JLA) and Frank Quitely (We3, JLA: Earth 2) bring their unique vision to the Man of Steel! Following a desperate mission to rescue a team of astronauts from the Sun, Superman's whole body is super-charged with solar power - to the point where it will kill him! Now the world's greatest superhero must set his affairs in order, beginning by telling Lois Lane the truth about Clark Kent's secret identity! Packed with beautiful artwork, thrilling ideas and senses-shattering plots, this is a definitive take on Superman, presented by two of comics' finest creators!
