I wouldn't mind picking this up , but I'm holding myself to get the Absolute edition, which is gonna keep me broke for weeks.
Great review! All Star Superman was one the most amazing comics I ever read. Grant Morrison is awesome.
I thought it was really well written, and showed the relationship between Lois and Clark perfectly. There were some really nice romantic moments, like when he flies her to the moon (everybody "aww" now!) but there was some pretty good fighting scenes as well.
I actually cried at some parts in the book, but maybe that's because I'm a sappy girl ;P
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone, whether it be a new Superman reader or longtime fan.
How does the big Absolute edition compare to collecting the two trades? I have the trade of Kingdom Come, but I bought the Absolute edition because it had 100 extra pages of sketches and what not.
So if Absolute Allstar Superman is worth getting...
Totally right Babs, absolute masterpiece.
Surely the question shouldn't be buy, borrow or bin but why didnt you buy the issues when they came out orginally? :)
I've been a spectator of this book for a long time. I might wish for it as a christmas gift!
Anyway, love this feature. You should make them more frequently!
Read through this as they released the issues on the DC Comics iPad app. A collection of really really great Superman stories that come together quite well. Love the 6th issue because its goes off in a weird goofy sci-fi angle but ends up ultimately resulting in a surprising story with a lot of heart.
i just placed an order on amazon for both volumes. ive been hearing some very good things about this and this actually convinced me 100%. thanks Tony and Sarita.
I think this book started out well, but by the middle of the story (Issue 7 or thereabouts) It kinda fizzled out for me. Still, it wasn't a bad read by any means.
This book converted me to Superman (and if you check out my profile you'll see just how completely it did convert me). I felt nothing for Superman growing up except cynicism. The Post-Crisis Superman had always bored me and I was more inclined to take Frank Miller's view of the character as an establishment stooge. Grant changed the way I felt completely with All-Star Superman. It's a beautiful story and, in my opinion, the best Superman story-arc of the Modern Age. It got me reading and appreciating the Silver Age as well. Get this trade if you haven't read it already.
I bought volume 2 first I think, had to wait and get volume 1 when I could afford it. But after reading 1 I rushed onto 2, and then was sad when they were both over because I knew there were NO MORE and would never be any more issues.
I fell in love with the comic, like you guys said. It was sooo good.
Does anyone know about the Absolute Edition? How many extra pages are in it? What the extra pages are? How much it is? Anything?
" wait.. i read volume one and i thought that each isue had a different story? but with the same overall theme of superman dying? And some stories with clarks early years. Maybe i should read the second volume to understand it? "Yeah, you really need to read volume 2. Each issue is somewhat self-contained, but the whole series has an overarching plot that you have to read all of.
I basically made video producer Joey read this. He says he's not really into Superman. We'll see what he thought of this.
" I am so glad you guys reviewed this! I have been thinking about picking it up and this was just the motivation I needed. I love these trading views. Keep up the good work!same thing here :)
