This is about as fine a collection of sci-fi (and in a couple of cases, fantasy) short stories as you're likely to find. Like any book of shorts, there's a dud here and there, but even these simply seem to be ideas that he was trying out to see where they go, which is part of the fun of reading short stories. It still amazes me that he was coming up with some of these ideas decades ago, ideas that are still prominent in current sci-fi.

The title story is good, but certainly not the best. The star of this show, in my opinion, is "The Variable Man." It's so damn gripping and tense and full of action, frankly I'm surprised it hasn't been made into a movie. Beyond that, there were plenty of stories in here that had me thinking about them well after I was done with them. Oh, and parents will definitely get some LOLs out of "Nanny." Yes, I just used LOL in a book review, what of it? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70032806 All Star Superman: Volume 02 (Hardcover) by Grant Morrison
