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: 5 out of 5 stars - Part 1 Of An Excellent Alternate Take On The Superman Mythos
Reprints 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. ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best Superman Comics
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. I originally was not a Frank Quietly fan and All-Star branding meant the story did not fit into contuity so could be treated as an "Elsewhere" style story that could go off way beyond what the hero should be.

But I was very surprised. I have started to really appreciate Quietly's art. And beyond his personal style, I think it fit this story perfectly. I tried to imagine another artist, and though the story would have been good, it would ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible. Worst comic I've ever read.
This was comic was ridiculous. The story jumps around, the character development was weak at best, the plot devices are ludicrous, like, how can a sonic wrist watch summon superman from earth to the moon? Or where the hell does Samson come from? He just seems to show up for no other reason then having a pissing contest with Superman for the affections of (now SUPER) Louis.

I won't go into all the reasons why this sucked, trust me though, don't waste your time and money. If you want to read ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb
This a great book, far superior than its brother "All Star Batman". With a smooth taste to the silver age type of narrative, Grant Morrison delivers a beautifull contemporary tale of Superman, structured in well-defined chapters, completed by the amazing work of Frank Quitely, that puts tons of detail in each page.

A lot could be highlighted, but there's some nice comedy throughout the book that deserves to be mentioned. Particullary the story where Superman has to deal with the cocky Samson ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All Star Writing & Artwork: Even Jaded Superman Fans Will Enjoy
Wow! This set of Superman tales was hot. I nearly passed up this book because I'm so tired of the Superman stories. This treatment of the man of steel totally changed my mind, and reminded me why I loved the series so much when I was younger.

Grant Morrison puts a modern spin on Superman, but he keeps the original all of the original "continuity" intact. This set of stories goes back to the science-fiction aspect of the original Superman that is so enjoyable, with less of the modern psychodrama ... Read More
