I'm a sucker for father and son stories. The Funeral in Smallville issue is probably my favorite issue of Morrison’s AS Superman series. I’m a sucker for father and son stories.

I love this issue. I'm not a Superman fan, but damn it's too well written. That final page of a indestructible divine golden flower "growing from" Pa Kent representing the man and his legacy (what he taught his son, and what eventually came out of that -- Superman concentrated into one simple man's life and ideals) just kills me. The issue has too much greatness to even begin to cite here (the barbelith forum has some great bits on it), but that thematic thread alone makes it perfect. And all in that manner of big great landscape of supehero-poetry (adolescent anxiety about the future turned into this cosmic misenscene and anxiety about death filtrated into huge super metaphors, a beast that eats/harvest time, supermummy-superman, future golden buddahsuperman etc). It's truly a stand out story amongst superhero fiction. Thank you for this.
