Must There Be a Superman?: Superman (Volume 1) 247. The Guardians of the Universe suggest Superman he is inadvertently hindering mankind by making them overly dependant on him.

However, Azzarello’s heavy-handed approach can lead to mixed results as it does deviate from what Superman purists would want which is a light adventurous romp (if you want that, go and read All-Star Superman). What works best about For Tomorrow, is when Azzarello is evoking the established Superman mythos as there are many sequences of Superman saving people, fighting a giant monster and even sharing a scene with the Justice League of America who start to question his solo heroism. However, if there’s one thing that will ring true for many Superman fans is his romance with Lois and the reunion scene here makes him a man that any woman can idealise.Red Daughter of Krypton: A crossover event which features Supergirl getting a Red Lantern Ring as a consequence of the events of the two previous crossovers.
