Count me in as loving the first issue too. I also rally loved the Quietly cover too. Morrison can do no wrong.

I haven't liked Quitely's art in the past (some of his X-Men stuff made me cringe), but I thought it was OK here. I didn't quite grok the story (with the Wonka-esque scientist), but I'll give it a few more issues... which is more than I gave All-Star Batman and Robin.
Jim Lee's art just doesn't do anything for me these days. It's technically proficient, but boring... I dropped that title after the first issue.

It's ok so far. I don't have a strong reaction one way or the other.
The best Superman story in the last ten years, imo (since we're all using superlatives here) was "Superman for All Seasons" - I was blown away by that one.

I expected a lot of silver-age-esque nonsense and insead got a lot of new-age mumbo-jumbo.
Yes, there's a difference.
Gonna give it at least 6 issues.
LOL, that's really funny. new-age mumbo-jumbo is this decades version of silver-age-esque nonsense! Thank the syncretism gods!

What I like about the general feel is that I dn't mind if they do silver age sillines story. Maybe THAT is what is missing in comics these days. But it's a seperate universe and I say experiment.
The main DCU has it's own tone and it's all under one label. I think Morrisson has a good idea here. Gotta read #2. I admit when I saw the cover of Lois Lane in a costume I cringed...but what the heck?! It's all fun right?!

Maybe I'll have to read it again when I'm not so exhausted. Not that it was bad by any means, one of the best books this month, better than LSH #13. But I didn't enjoy it as much as #1.

Honestly, I was underwhelmed (as I am with All-Star Batman). There are some cute tidbit references here and there, but nothing in this story is drawing me in. I might give it one more issue.

Issue three came out, my only comic purchase of the week. Fortunately it was fun enough to make up for the sad realities of a month with 5 Wednesdays.
Click Here For A SpoilerBiblical Characters, Lizard Men, Super Lois, Greek Demigods and Egyption Mythological beings all appear. Backdrops include Metropolis, the center of the earth, the surface of the Moon and Atlantis... All this trouble to get a date with Lois.

Could this series possibly get any better?
And am I the only one who wants to see an All-Star Time-Travelling Samson and Atlas spinoff series?
