FIrst off, this is short, and written by Alan Moore, so read it. At first I didn't know if I would like it because the style of artwork is a little bit older, now that I have read it I know not to underestimate older graphic novels. Although a short read, I think there is more emotion and thought packed into each of the three vignettes than many other graphic novels. People often claim superman is boring because he is too powerful, this puts all of those arguments to rest, as Superman must deal with his own mortality and of those close to him. I highly recommend reading it.
