JIM LEE. Do we have your attention? You've been hearing the buzz for months, and now the main event is finally here! Fresh off his blockbuster run on BATMAN, Lee - Wizard Magazine's Best Artist of 2003 - is getting back in the ring to go twelve rounds with the Man of Steel. Along with inker extraordinaire Scott Williams, the "Hush" art team is going to give you a Superman like none you've ever seen before. BRIAN AZZARELLO. Every great fighter needs a great sparring partner, and this time around, Eisner Award-winning writer Azzarello, hot off his own best-selling 6-issue run on BATMAN, delivers the goods. Together, these heavyweights present "For Tomorrow" a 12-part storyline sure to grab readers by the throat and hold on tight. It kicks off in SUPERMAN #204, an extra- sized 40-page issue! A cataclysmic event has struck the earth. Millions of people have vanished without a trace. No one is left unaffected - not even Superman. A year has passed, and Superman is left with many questions and very few answers. For a hero who tries to have all the answers, it's torture. And just as the action heats up and the stakes are raised, one huge question emerges: Just how far is Superman willing to go "For Tomorrow"?
