Editorial Review: Product Description: Two of the comics industry's top creative talents, writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, the acclaimed team behind JLA: EARTH 2, reunite to redefine Superman based on the timeless, essential iconic elements that everyone knows about the Man of Steel. In the first volume, the World's Greatest Super-Hero rescues a doomed group of astronauts on the surface of the sun when he's exposed to massive amounts of solar radiation no one could possibly anticipate how he'll be affected - except Lex Luthor!

![]() Rating: - I don't understand al the fuzzI'm so sorry but this book wasn't for me at all. I think this is one of the most overated comic books of all time. I didn't even like the art. Maybe I'm just a lazy boy, but I don't want to take a course on positronic energy applied in quantic physics in order to understand the silly logic of some parst of the book. Seems like the writer just wanted to make a pretty line when explaining how the kryptonite pistol works. I just don't have words to express how much I don't ...

I'll have to ... Read More Rating: - Not my cup of tea I guess...I wasn't all that impressed with this. The art was ok, but too much psuedo science and non relevant fluff to enjoy it. Now Red Son, which I just read, was fantastic. There are plenty of other great Superman stories to enjoy. I wish I had read this before ordering Part 2 as well. Rating: - A Fantastic Breath of Life for a Timeless CharacterThe second volume of Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman was released this month, bringing the iconic hero's twelve-issue All-Star arc to a finish. And Morrison and his artist cohort Frank Quitely wrap it up as powerfully as it started in volume one. The All-Star imprint was designed by DC in 2005 as an avenue for acclaimed writers and artists to try their hands at the publisher's top-tier superheroes, like Superman and Batman, without having to concern themselves with the years of continuity ... Read More Rating: - Part 1 Of An Excellent Alternate Take On The Superman MythosReprints All-Star Superman #s 1-6 DC's All-Star line takes major icons and places them into stand-alone series with no direct connection to the larger continuity. It allows the creative team to build a world for the title character and his supporting characters that draws as much or as little from any era of the character's previous stories, and to mix and reinvent elements without worrying about how it'll impact and interact with other stories and titles past, present and future.
