No, it will be out the last week of this month. According to DC's site.

I'm really liking this mini, but it sure has been slow to get out there. Why not just wait until the whole the thing is in the can before releasing it?

Yea Bored. I was hoping it would come out last month.

They must be planning something big for #5. Perhaps a double sized issue.

God only knows how they're going to finish the storyline without a double-sized issue or something to that effect.

this is a great series imho. i read the first 4 last night and am looking forward to getting the finale today if it doesnt get delayed.

great insight intoo luthor, sort of makes me think he isnt such a bad guy, at least not totally evil through and through....more of an anti hero in a way, dont get me wrong i know he's a villain but this is somewhat of a different take on him and what makes him tick. also, the art is freaking amazing, id really like some insight into the techniques used. id really like to see a penciled page, and inked page, and then a colored page so i could see how the progressions take place.

Not only did it make it out this week but it actually tied everything up in a satisfying and (to me at least) surprising way.

After the two lines by Superman here, I'm willing to recant and admit that God-vision isn't such a bad idea.

Scrumptious art.

Loved the art. Story came to a close faster then I thought it would.

That was a good line. :) And best of all, it works metaphorically as well as literally, so those of us who choose to can ignore the God-vision.

Now, without decrying the worth of the story, is it canon? I only ask because Superman attacking Batman and Luthor turning on Orr doesn't seem to fit given this story would've had to take place in the past.

I think it could fit easily into Superman's early days.

Fantastic series -- both art and story were just amazing.

Azz's Luthor really reminded me of Erik Lensherr, with his complexity of character, obsession to advance his cause, and desire to protect his ideals -- yet his Machiavellian/means-justify-the-ends philosophy ultimately makes him a villain. Great stuff.

And yeah, that "see your soul" line was very slick.

Easily one of the best "Superman" stories in a long, long time. A lot of people have harsh opinions of Azzarello's "For Tomorrow" arc (my only real complaint being Jim Lee's static, lifeless art) but he really found his footing with Luthor.
:cool:

I did too, actually. But by "God-vision", we're referring to Superman's new ability to see people's souls, seen as recently as Superman #220.

He can see people's souls.

That's what I think he is referring to.
