    Well, the artwork is good, no doubt. But the story is not good. It starts strong and then fizzles. So if you want it for the artwork, go for it. But I cannot recommend it on strength of story.

    Well, I would recommend it for both art and story. It's not your typical Superman story, though. It's very introspective and full of allegories.

    I loved For Tomorrow, and if you're looking to read something different, well, this is for you.

    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.

    For Tomorrow has awesome art. Like someone else said in here the story is okay, but not your typical Superman story. I read the whole story in TPB in 20 mins, its a very easy read

    It's Jim Lee so the art's obviously boring stiff over-rendered crap, but the story's not bad.

    The art's eye candy, but the story is not one of Azzarello's best, I'm sorry to say.
