All-Star Superman is a spectacular reimagining of the Superman mythos, from the Man of Steel's origin to his greatest foes and beyond.

“Maniacally brilliant.” —The New York Times
 
“All-Star Superman is exciting, bold and supercool… all the makings of a classic.” —Variety

“Morrison gets what’s fun about Superman: he’s ridiculously powerful, and therefore he just sees and does and has lots of incredibly cool, totally bizarre stuff.”  —TIME Magazine, Best Comics of 2007
