Superman is unlike most heroes simply because he is the pinnacle of all superheroes. He has no faults, he always wins, he is noble, and he is all that is good in the world. But that can be a cause of burden, one that plenty of superman comics have shown in the past, but to celebrate the end of the "Silver Age" of comics, Alan Moore has avoided that and instead has given us one long heroic farewell to the greatest hero of them all. There is no flaw to him in this, it's all how the public view him and how he managed to save the world once again.

It's in all honestly surprisingly touching, seeing everyone unite together in their love of Superman, and how even when things are at their darkest, they are still there for him, showing he has made a difference in the end. Curt Swan has done beautiful work with the Man of Steel, but this is probably his Magnum Opus, as Superman seems more like a god in human form, but still emotional. I dare any fan of Superman to make it through the last few pages without shredding a tear or two.

It's not very de-constructive unlike Moore's other work, but instead it seems to be viewed through the eyes of a child, with nothing but love for the Man of Tomorrow, which is a welcome change from the man, because he still is second to none when it comes to writing comics. Heck, even the other two stories that come with "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" Don't take anything away from the main story, as they are all seemingly unrelated to each other except for the fact they are all written by Moore, but the highlight is the Swamp Thing story, which is a little more like Moore's other work.

It's only a small collection and is well worth owning, as it's a glorious telling of why the Man of Tomorrow deserves to be called Superman.
