Really good! This is one of the best Superman collections I've read yet. He's not all brooding and batmanny, but he's not just shiny and perfect either. It was a good blend that led to an interesting Superman tale. I'm not wild about the characterizations of Lois, Jimmy or Perry. Also, I hate that they made Power Girl & Zatanna look like strippers. All in though, I really enjoyed this story.

This is a fun Superman story with the interesting premise of what if the intervention of super heroes is ultimately terrible, even apocalyptic, for society. The soul searching in this collection feels real and shifts the narrative away from Superman's invulnerability, which almost always leads to boring story telling, towards a philosophical debate on the potential dangers of intervention. Those kinds of arguments are at the heart of most good science fiction and lead to one of the better Superman stories I've read in a while.
