A comiXologist Recommends A Comic That Brings Them Joy:
Scott McGovern recommends All-Star Superman
The best superhero stories are the ones that inspire and stay with us long after we’ve finished reading. In All-Star Superman, creative partners Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly tell a Superman story full of heroism, whimsy, love, and action while staying true to what makes him such an iconic character.
The beauty of All-Star Superman is how it incorporates ideas and individuals from so many eras of great Superman stories, while adding new ideas to the mythos; Bizarro, Jimmy Olsen, The City of Kandor, talking dinosaurs who live inside the earth… it’s all here.
Add in Lex Luthor, whose disdain and loathing for Superman drives the conflict from the very beginning, and Lois Lane’s clear affection for Superman always present in his heart, and you’ve got a tale full of tribute, wonder and joy.
For many people, they hear the name Superman and they think “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” For me, Superman represents something else.
He represents hope.
The entirety of All-Star Superman is on-sale this week as part of our DC Entertainment Essentials Sale. For those who want to read more of Grant Morrison’s stellar DC stories, check out JLA Vol. 1 and DC One Million, the latter of which ties in almost directly with All-Star Superman.
