We are introduced to Lou. Why is he in prison for something he did? But why did they decide to rob a casino and not return the money to us beyond me?
We seem to get an adventure with many different folks. It starts with wanting to find out who and why his sister was killed.

Why does everyone want the money? Or is it something else that they want?
There seem to be quite a few dead bodies along the way. Someone seems to be cleaning up his messes. Who wants Lou dead? Why do they want the money? Though there seems to be another plot going on, it seems that someone keeps coming after Lou.

That person seems to think he knows this tech or has it or something. Though Lou seems to have found a woman as well, and maybe a little romance come about. What will happen to him and the young woman he first meets?
Will he solve the mystery of how his sister was killed? Why was she killed?

Hmmmm ... how best to describe this?

Perhaps the foreword puts it best: released back in the mid-80s, this is (now) effectivel a 'what-if', with the central conceit being that this was a story told by Lois to a Daily Planet reporter about Superman's Last Days.

I say a 'What-if' as, obviously, the Man of Steel is still around today: at the time this was released, however, DC was going through a major 'cleaning of the house'; retconning and throwing out over 50 years worth of backstory for their various properties in an attempt to reset the switch; to go back to basics (as it were). As such, it was possible (just) that this very well could have been the last Superman story ever written.

Unlike some of Moore's other works ([b:Batman: The Dark Knight Returns|59960|Batman The Dark Knight Returns (The Dark Knight Saga, #1)|Frank Miller|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327892039s/59960.jpg|1104159]The Dark Knight Returns, for example, or even [b:Watchmen|472331|Watchmen|Alan Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442239711s/472331.jpg|4358649]Watchmen), this does show it's age somewhat; very much having a 'Silver Age' feel to it.
