superman submitted by nasuaada on July 26, 2011, 12:07pm The Man of Steel is the best superhero ever! i recommend superhero comics!

Supermans End? submitted by andersonb on June 15, 2013, 7:57am Three different looks at possible 'ends' for The Man of Steel. Written by Allen Moore, these stories each have a different take on how the Superman might face his inevitable end. Much more interested in the hero's psychology than his death, I found this book to be a fun and interesting read. I personally have always seen Superman as the most flat and boring of the various comic universes. This comic gives his character some depth as he faces something even his god-like powers seem incapable of saving him from.

In the first story, he is put in a moral trap that even Superman cannot escape. In the second Superman faces down a disease that no-one can save him from. Finally in the third, he is offered a vision of his perfect future, will he trade the imperfect now for a family?

I would certainly recommend this book to any fan of Superman or anyone like myself just introducing yourself to his comics.
