You can check out this and my other reviews here :)I have a theory explaining why good old Superman is so disliked nowadays. Almost everyone says that Supes is a boring boy scout wearing his underwear on the wrong side of his pants. I dare to disagree. Superman is the archetype of a spandex clad super hero. My theory is that he is so good while at the same time being so powerful that it makes people uncomfortable. We have grown too cynical and we well know that we could never be as good asOkay, other than Frank Quitely giving Supes the physique of a championship bowler, this book wasnt bad. It certainly was NOT the loathsome, Batman persona-raping shit bomb that All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder, Volume 1 was (I still havent forgiven you for that Frank Miller). I think that Grant Morrison did a good job capturing the essential, archetypal goodness of Superman in this homage/tribute/restoration of the icon of icons. Still, this was a swing and a miss for me...though a
4.5 starsThis is what I would recommend to someone who is not a fan of Superman. Morrison manages to take all of the things that make Superman such an iconic character, and turn it into a great story.
Am not quite sure where I fall on this. Some of it displays signs of brilliance bit there a there are a few meh moments which I'll touch on in a TFF review. Some characters had great art for them (Lois, Clark and a couple of others) but I didn't like the artwork for the front cover nor the weird purple alien (not a big Superman fan so not too sure on this character, the other not-quite Superman Supermen, Luthor and Jimmy Olsen. But the story was strong and I may stick around for Vol.2.
All-Star Superman is a comic that I had heard lot about. Many have said that it is The Superman comic that you should read, and how can you argue with a name like All-Star Superman?But after reading it... I hope this is not the best Superman can do. The story is a complete mess as is the art style. All-Star Superman is an example of how the universe behind the characters have grown too large for a new reader to understand it. I, who vaguely knows who Jimmy Olsen is, found myself confused from
I read this for Comics during Spring semester last year. That expanded my mind to the world of comics. There is something conceptualized, and ruminative about comic books. Fact of the day: I am Team Superman furthermore which made this a worthwhile review for me to construct.
I honestly dont know what to think of this now that I have read it. I was fun, it was colorful and brilliant, and yet overall it didnt make much sense to me. Its like when they sat down to write this superman book they decided to explore x number of stories and themes and in the end all those themes and stories didnt flow with each other in the amount of allotted pages they were given. Heres the gist of what I saw in this book. Superman is dying by the hands of Luthor. Luthor is okay with going
