I disagree . For every All star arc, there have been countless 'For Tomorrow Arcs'. I like what G.J. and Brusiek are doing with him, and i like some of Jurgens and Brynes stuff, but its still pretty meh !! compared to Miracle Man, Supreme Power, Sandman, Kingdom Come, Lucifer and Morison's JLA all of which are depicting immensely powerful characters.
i think for tomorrow gets ALOT of undeserved flak... they tried to do something new with superman, and while it was a bit hit and miss, the hits were as good as the misses were bad... imo there is some amazing dialogue concerning his love for lois, how the world around him perceives him, and how far he is allowed to go in his role as one of the world's protectors...
i loved the verheiden/benes run, i really did, though admittedly, without benes' art, parts of it wouldn't have been the best... though the sacrifice arc happened during this run, and i have to say i quite enjoyed the story...
the gog-war arc, for me, is one of the best recent superman arcs, there isn't alot of it i could fault...
secret identity is one of the best comics of modern times imo... its damn good...
up, up and away was good imo, as was the arc with the intergalactic collectors (which seemed to get better as it went on imo), and the recent arc concerning khyber (which also, strangely enough, seemed to improve with time), and the possibility that the more superman fights against the worlds problems, the more they're building up, until the next crisis hits...
busiek is, on his day imo, a fine superman writer...
death of superman, imo, was a good comic, i just felt, given its storyline, it should have been bigger in scope...
and of course there's all-star...
there was one more i wanted to mention, but i just forgot it... crap... meh, when i remember, ill post it...
