Simple concept, brilliantly executed.
Tim Sale's art is very unique and works great for the world of Superman. Drawing Clark as this friendly giant is genius and is probably my new favourite design for him. Loeb's writing is fantastic and the following short stories are just as great, especially the emotional "Sam's Story". The perspectives told from different characters in his life show the various ways Superman affects them.
It's a timeless story that really understands Superman's character, his guilt and the burden he feels every day.

Just like Long Halloween is the ultimate Batman book, Spider-Man Blue is the ultimate Spider-Man book, Loeb and Sale produce the ultimate Superman book.
Lex's story and Lana's were definitely the best. This graphic novel has an awesome grasp of the tradition Superman mythology but is never boring or dated :] There is one great quote by Lois about how much money Lex earns that is fantastic: "We were bored and tired and we tried to figure out how much Luthor makes. Our best guess? One hundred and fifty dollars a second. In other words, if Lex Luthor found a hundred dollar bill lying in the street...it wouldn't be worth his time to pick it up." Genius!
