Grant Morrison is a genius. I mean, what more can you say about the guy? But when he teams up with Frank Quitely, WOW!! This book is just incredible. I mean, everything about it is fantastic. The story is great. The artwork is fabulous. And that includes the inking and coloring. I mean, just look at that sky on that cover. Basically Clark is getting ready to leave home. So Ma & Pa are thinking about giving up the farm and just going back to the General Store. Well, right when Clark is getting ready to leave, these 3 strangers show up offering to help with things. Clark thinks it's a little strange, but hey, they seem like good workers. Well, come to find out, they're all Supermen from the future. It seems, way way in the future, there's a Superman Squad, made up of all the different Supermen, through all the different times, and they travel through time fixing things. They come back to this particular era, to fight the Chronovore. They try to keep Clark out of it, but of course he has to jump in. But, whenever you fight the Chronovore, you lose time. Clark loses 3 minutes, and in that time his father has a heart attack. They apologize to him, and give him a rose from New Krypton. But, come to find out, by us not Clark, the one in bandages was actually Clark as a man. They offered to bring him back so he could see his pa one last time. Very touching story. These guys are masters of their craft. And they are definitely putting all that they have in to this book. Thank you!!
