All-Star Superman ended this past week. there is one less reason for this world to exist now.

this was easily one of the best, compelling, most sophisticated story-telling machines of this decade.

Morrison and Quitely, for all their faults, told a really fantastic tale, one of the best Superman (or even just SUPERHERO) stories ever, vaulting the character from simply iconic to a MYTHIC status.

I am really going to miss this series.

thoughts? Art, I'm looking at you!

Overall, though, Morrison's Bat-travesty tarnishes "All Star" for me, a little. In each case, he's writing for a fanbase that by and large, is only getting older and more resistant to new and different types of heroes. I wanted to like this story, but it just seemed trite. I actually dug Geoff Johns' recent work on the in-continuity Superman book, which is a tougher trick to pull off, if you think about it.

Anybody watch that Skrull Invasion TV spot? Dopey as shit, but Marvel is promoting the hell out of that series.

I read it when I can; I'm surprised Image isn't pushing that harder for sale at, say, Borders. Did the kid brother go apeshit?

i loved all star superman.

it was superman at his finest

morrison made comics fun and gave us something with imagination.

i'm tired of seeing a world right outside my window. i want to get lost in the fantastic

NOW I will go read it.
