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.

Don't fall asleep on your laurels, my friend. I suggest you to get it before it sells out. That story kicks major ass.
... The Master Of Puppets has spoken.
Goodbye León (november 16th, 1993 - june 12th, 2009). You were, are and always will be the best friend I ever had. I will always love you and never forget you. And please, please forgive me.
Thank you for teaching me about love, patience and caring. Rest in Peace, my friend. I hope that wherever it is you are now, you can run and play as much as you want.

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...I live in America. It's not a country, it's a business.

And yet there was no explanation as to why he got his powers back. Originally Posted by Kilgore Trout

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...

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. Originally Posted by J. Robb

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... Originally Posted by Kilgore Trout

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.
