I love how simultaneously vast and specific, yet self-contained this series feels. It runs the funky gauntlet of Superman's romance, science fiction, campiness, and high stakes, both emotionally and for the sake of the universe. It's…

This and Superman For All Seasons are the definitive Superman.

I wasn't expecting this book to be very good, it turned out to be a entertaining superman story. I would recommend this book to anyone.

An imaginative addition to the Superman story.

Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely have turned out one of the best Superman comics in years, both beautiful to look at and enjoyable to read! Too bad the local library only sees fit to stock the first of the two volumes, someone should look…

A beautifully illustrated and written exploration of the Superman character, so near to perfection that it almost pains me to deduct a half-star for the tedious "Bizarro World" issue. I also highly recommend the animated film version…

This is possibly the only Superman comic you'll ever need to read. Miller goes to great lengths to not only create a scientifically plausible Superman, but one that feels more human, and less like a perfect, invincible being. Superman…

I never liked Superman, It thought he was a boring one dimensional character. Well All-star Superman changed that. One of the best stories I have read.

Gods achieve their power by encouraging us to believe in them. Superman achieves his power by encouraging us to believe in ourselves. All Stars for All Star Superman, 5/5

All Star Superman is profound and playfull. At the time of this book's writing, Morrison was experiencing his father's decay and passing away. It's like in any sport where an athlete approaches the goal and makes it 'look easy'. …

I am not really a fan of "Supes" but several of the stories made me rethink that opinion. One story I saw no merit in was " Superman / Olsen War!" though Olsen girlfriend was candy to the eyes. "The Gospel according to Lex Luthor" was…

I loved both Volume One and Volume Two. The writing excellent from beginning to end and the artwork is beautiful. Good superhero stories are thrilling but I think it's rare to be as deeply touched by a superhero comic. If Grant Morrison…

I picked up this book because I wanted to know what the big deal was with Grant Morrison. I've never been a big fan of Superman. Mostly because he's just too powerful and it seemed not only could he do anything but anything could happen…

Volume 1 of Grant Morrison's work was a brilliant look at what would Superman do if he knew he was dying. Volume 2 continues this exploration, with Superman doing the truly amazing, like journeying to the Bizarro Universe and defeating…

Grant Morrison has done something interesting. He has made me care about Superman. Normally I could give two hoots about the Big Blue. I have called him, on more than one occasion, a boy scout. Yet in this collection of Grant…

It’s true to say I’ve been a Superman fan as far back as I can remember, but it’s also true to say I haven’t always been a fan. Because there are really many different characters called Superman: the original Golden Age character who…
