"For Tomorrow" is a 2004-2005 comic book story arc published in ''Superman'' #204-215 by DC Comics. Written by Brian Azzarello and penciled by Jim Lee, with inks by Scott Williams, the story begins a year after a million people (including Superman's wife, Lois Lane), mysteriously vanish from the face of the earth. As the Man of Steel tries to solve the puzzle while dealing with his personal loss as well as guilt over failing to prevent the disaster, a parallel story line concerns a priest questioning his faith and serving as Superman's confessor. This eventually gives way to a plot in which a megalomaniac bent on interplanetary conquest begins his attempt to capture his targets, and fighting through a heavy heart, Superman must stop him. Coming off of the wildly successful ''Batman'' story arc ''Hush'', Jim Lee's involvement as penciller on this story made it very highly anticipated.〔(Jim Lee to Draw Superman at Mania.com )〕 Although Azzarello's story received mixed reviews, Lee and Williams' artwork was highly praised and the series was financially lucrative enough for DC to publish an Absolute Edition hardcover in April, 2009.〔(DC Comics February 2009 Solicitations at Newsarama )〕 ==Background== The situational focus of "For Tomorrow" is on two events that took place prior to the twelve-issue story arc's starting point. The first is "The Vanishing", where a million people mysteriously disappeared from the planet, including Lois Lane, leaving only ghostly shadows in the places they had vanished. The second is Superman's creation of an alternate reality, which he meant to use as a refuge for the people of Earth in case a tragedy such as the one that befell Krypton were to occur. When creating this reality, Superman also built robots in the likeness of Jor-El, Lara and Clark Kent to protect it. However, upon its completion, he felt that it was not his place to change the course of a planet's destiny and put the world in the Phantom Zone, erasing his memory of creating it. "For Tomorrow" is told in medias res. With regard to continuity, there are no prior stories wherein the two events described above are delineated in abstract.
