I checked the release date and asked around for the TPB, and everybody said it was released in Sept. But how come I can't find it anywhere? Was it delayed? If anyone knows, please post here.

It's been out for two weeks, I think. I own a copy.

Don't fall asleep on your laurels, my friend. I suggest you to get it before it sells out. That story kicks major ass.

Oh yeah, jet right out and get it...

Or, go to the back issue bin and pick out any 8-part Superman story from the early/mid 1990's and save some money...

If you look, you might even be able to find a story with Superman in it because in Up, Up, and Away, he only makes a guest appearance near the end half of the story when he beats up Luthor in a giant robot...

Yeah, it’s THAT original!

But don't worry, everything gets explained, and explained, and explained, and explained, and explained, and explained, and explained...

I will say this: It DID kick ass...

It kicked mine off buying the Superman titles...

And yet there was no explanation as to why he got his powers back.

Actually, I am...

I'm interested in the upcoming storyline so I'm giving it a shot...

As for Busiek, he is writing a Superman comic that a LARGE majority of fans REALLY like so...

I know its mostly me...:o

I just don't get all the acclaim heaped on Up, Up, and Away...

Its soooooo ordinary...[Zzzzzzz]

All right I got a copy. The store was sold out when I checked it, and the stupid employees didn't even know that it was out. But I finally got my TPB. This story does kick ass! Thanks for responding!

I thought the explanation was that once he lost his powers, he was enjoying being Clark Kent so much that he didn't want them to return. So he had kind of a placebo effect on himself. Kind of like Spiderman in Spiderman 2, I guess.

Perhaps you could borrow a comic book from the current Action Comics/ Superman and give it a read. Just to see if you like it...

OK. No reply. So ..

a) no-one cares enough about Mr. Woods' work to comment
b) no-one could be bothered to answer my question

Rest easy, Mr. Woods, I'm sure it's option (b).

Here you go... I did some research for you:

http://www.velvettiki.com/pete/

Give it a look around. It has a listing of comics he's worked on and some work from his portfolio, etc. He's a very talented artist.
