Help me, Comics Nerds!

There was a semi-recent Superman story (happened before the New DCU 52 Zoo Crew Review) where Superman was shown why, for the good of Reality, he and the other super-heroes had to die or go away or stop being super heroes. Their existence and their continually saving the Earth was forcing a balance of entropy (or something) to continually throw worse and worse catastrophes at them. It lead to the extinction of the human race and all life on Earth, and I *think* it ended up with Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane being the last humans, and they die one by one, alone. It was super-depressing and powerful and I'd REALLY like to know which issue it was!

Help? Anyone??

I don't read Superman comics but I know quite a few people that do. I'll contact them and get back to you. ;)

Thank you! If it helps at all, it kind of devolved in to an origin story for a revamped version of Kamandi - not the 70's version, not the 90's version, but a brand-new one where Jimmy Olson was the grandfather of Kamandi (The Last Boy On Earth).

Ok this is what one of my friends said...

"Superman 657 & 658 'Camelot Falls'. There's kind of an epilogue in 659. And it's Arion the sorcerer who tells Superman that his presence, and the presence of other heroes, is hold mankind back from achieving their full potential. (Although it may not really be Arion, but someone impersonating him."

And another friend said this...
"I think it is the 2nd part of Fall of Camelot that was released months afterward the first part of Fall of Camelot - don't need part 1 to read part 2

here is a link to the storyline - https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?SeriesID=13453991

It was collected in TPB form Camelot Falls weight of the world"

Hope that helps! ;)
