There were definitely parts that I enjoyed; the Luthor/Supergirl plotline, the Thorn, the funeral with all the main heroes involved, the reaction towards Superman's death, Lois and Ma and Pa Kent. But most of the time I felt like I was slogging through this comic. I hated everything having to do with Gangbuster or any of the cops, the Underworlders would be a lot more interesting if Superman were there, and there were so many parts where it felt like the story was coming to an end and I thought "what else could even take up 300 pages?"
