when it comes to Quitely, I always assume it's #3 (or #4 I suppose...). When it comes to rogue/rouge, I give all 4 an equal chance of being the case!
As for OP...
I used to think A-SS was overrated. I didn't think it was bad, I just didn't think it was the zenith of Superman stories like so many ppl seem to think. But then something happened gradually over time... I don't know if it was reading more Superman stories or simply understanding the character better or what. But at some point, years after I first read A-SS, it hit me that it truly is a great Superman story - arguably the best, in and of itself. Though it still probably doesn't break the Top 5 on my personal favorite list.
