"It's my cruelest portrayal of Superman that I've ever done, that makes him out to be the worst he can possibly be. I'm hoping people will really dig it, because it's almost a roast of modern comics, including my own." –Grant Morrison

Betrayals of cosmic consequence abound! And why is Earth's sun turning orange? We can only hope Superman figures that one out before it's too late…
