This is great to hear!
I had been hesitant, because this is my favorite Superman story EVER, but maybe I will give it a shot after this recommendation.
I imagine you won't be disappointed.
Anyone unfamiliar with the comic,however, might not enjoy it quite as much.
I hadn't read it so the story structure was a bit bothersome.
"Hey,lizard people.Neato.
Sampson and Atlas? Okay...
Ultra-sphinx,who?
Kryptonian astronauts?WHA?
Sun eaters and evil star/computer widgets?
What the hell's going on here?!
SLOW DOWN,DAMN IT!"
It's a lot to fit in,and while you can argue that the frantic pace fits because
Supes is dying,it still feels odd and chaotic.
I liked it,overall though.
