This is a love letter to the optimistic insanity of Superman, and its joy is so infectious that I couldn't resist.

    <body><![CDATA[Grant Morrison's <em>All-Star Superman</em> is one of the few Superman comics I've really enjoyed. I think he gets right what most writers get wrong concerning Superman. Most of the time, in order to make a threat credible, due to Superman's great power, writers make Superman so dumb he can't see the obvious...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67524620">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[**SPOILER ALERT**<br/><br/>I really, really wanted to like Vol. 2 of All Star Superman. I was intrigued by the first volume and it's main story line in which Superman is dying at the hands of Lex Luthor.

    <body><![CDATA[A fitting end to the All-Star Superman series. Bizzaro, the Phantom Zone and other classic Superman elements appear, yet subtly changed and pushed in new directions. A series that I am ultimately sad to see it end, yet happy that it ended on such an amazing high.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The continuation and conclusion of Morrison and Quitely's brilliant collaboration.  I can't say the word brilliant enough in reviewing these.  Grant Morrison is a brilliant writer and Frank Quitely is a brilliant comic book artist.  This is a compelling story that incorporates a lot of the Superman ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45560754">more...</a>]]></body>
