I liked it but I don't think it is the greatest Superman story ever like it was billed to be. ( )

(Putting this review on all related reads from the day in this series)

This was a truly awesome read. I was so glad to fall into it, and so glad to see each issue focused a little more specifically on a ton of side characters especially. The story was lovely, from the lie, the reveals, and the ending hope, with not ever believing it was over. It was, also, hilarious to see Lois never once believe that Superman was Clark Kent. Ever.

Absolutely awesome Superman stories. The best there was, is, and ever will be. ( )

A very interesting overview of Superman, with his interactions with Lois, Jimmy, Lex, and others. I found myself going back to re-read sections, as they became more clear as I read on. ( )
  quinton.baran | Mar 29, 2021 |
In perhaps the most enjoyable Superman comic ever, the cerebral [author:Grant Morrison], whose prodigious output varies from mediocre to sensational, successfully creates a story full of scientific wonder, multi-reality excitement, and diabolical evil. [author:Frank Quitely]'s delicate, expressive art perfectly compliments the intricate, intelligent tale. If Warner Brothers has any sense, All-Star Superman would be the basis for the next Superman film.

First words
Doomed planet. Desperate scientists. Last hope. Kindly couple.
Quotations
"Luthor… we released you from jail to work for us, for your country…"

"Well, I've tried to be a model citizen, General Lane.

I know I promised I wouldn't waste my intellect on kryptonite robots and elaborate super-death traps.

I know that.

But three months ago, I looked in the mirror at those nasty little spiderwebs of lines around my eyes, and I realized something.

I'm getting older and…

…and he isn't."
