Superman of the new generation - Rated
since the first apperance of the big man in action comics #1(1938), comics were changed forever.
Grant Morrisons "all star superman" will be looked on back as another defining moment in comics history.It's not just the the fabulous story or the beutifull artwork (which is possibly the best ever seen in comics by frank quietly)which makes this a classic but its the miniscule attention to detail on every page and the perfect charactoristaion of every charactor whether they have significat or small roles to play in Superman/Clarks world. There is a phylosiphical approach to the story hidden beneath the layer above the obvious as we see themes such as life and death and greed and self sacrifice all rolled up in a garbeld soup of symbolism and mystic.
Make sure you buy this timeless classic or even try borrowing it from a library, the point being is that you shouldn't miss out on one of the most influential books of this generation.
beautiful - Rated
I could write forever on the beauty of the 12 issue run by Morrisson and Quitely. As a fellow Scot, it is with pride that the best Superman story ever told has sprung from the mind of two Scottish fellows.
Forget your love for graphic novels, this is pure and simply a beautifully illustrated novel.
The purest study of the only true addition to World Mythology you will ever read.
stunning.
One of the greatest Superman stories ever told - Rated
Grant Morrison's & Frank Quitely's 12 issue run stands as one of the best comics of the 21st century. Actually, I believe one day it will e remembered as one of the all-time classics. Just the 10h chapter is worth the price tag. In 22 pages the authors distill all that's great about the character, and what many writers unfortunately miss. Morrison's superman does not need to be depowered to be interesting. It's not the abilities that make him such a great enduring character. It's his heart and faith in others.
I would also recommend Mark Waid's and Leinil Yu's excellent Superman: Birthright
Super-b - Rated
This collection of the latter half of All Star Superman is a must buy for any comics fan. As a real Morrison fan even I have to acknowledge his recent output has been patchy but this is a masterpiece. He writes such a moving and powerful story as Superman faces up to the ultimate adversary, his own mortality. As he struggles to resolve his life's unfinished work and prepare the world for his absence Morrison has created a modern comics classic. The ideas are breathtaking and frequently moving, a stand out episode dealing with the Bottle City of Kandor which is worth buying this collection for on its own.
Quitely's art is the perfect foil for Morrison and as usual they are an almost unbeatable team up of talent. His pencils illustrate perfectly the power and frailty of the Man of Steel.
This collection brings to a close one of the finest comics of recent years.
Buy it! You won't be disappointed.
Superlooking, supersmart - Rated
As with the first collection of All Star Superman, the artwork in this book can make you stop and stare. True talent has been allowed to flourish and bloom here and it rewards return viewing much more than many modern comic books.
The writing is pretty good too (I jest, it's more than good), but it is the mixture of sweeping grandeur and small, but highly revealing details in the artwork that pull you in and make you care about this character you thought you knew well enough to dismiss as shallow and out-dated.
Most of all these books present Superman as a super man, and that's a neat twist on an old friend.
