About this title

About the Author:

Brian Azzarello is one of the hottest names in comics after his work on the crime noir 100 Bullets and Batman catapulted him to the forefront of the ranks of contemporary comics writers. Jim Lee is a comics legend. After an extraordinary run drawing X-Men, he co-founded Image studios, and after creating WildStorm Productions he developed and illustrated smash-hit titles like WildC.A.T.S. and StormWatch.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 10 Up It's become something of a fad to shake up the story lines of long-running series in order to reach a new generation of readers. In Tomorrow, the result is a mixture of high drama, colorful exposition, and ridiculous fantasy. The tale is so convoluted and melodramatic that only the most dedicated fans will want to slog their way through it. The story involves the mysterious disappearance of a million people from Earth (including Superman's wife, Lois) only to reappear in some unknown paradise world. Superman tries frantically to find them while his various allies and enemies rush to stop him. When he finally discovers what caused the vanishing, he, too, enters the mysterious paradise where he comes face to face with an enemy so powerful that it threatens to destroy everything he has ever known. There is really no doubt that he will come out on top, but it's unlikely that readers will care enough to get to the ending. In attempting to tell the story of Superman's psychological and spiritual struggles, the book becomes a parody of itself a pastiche of every superhero tale and self-help book ever written. The clichés are too numerous to list; suffice to say that the book is full of large-breasted women, incomprehensible musculatures, and lines like, I'm a man who can fly...but it's this woman who sweeps me off my feet. Azzarello may be an accomplished storyteller, but this is far from his best work. Steev Baker, Kewaskum Public Library, WI
