This might just be the best comic on the market right now. When I finish it, I actually feel really good.
Grant Morrison was born to write All-Star Superman.
The ending of #3 was very sweet, and I've really warmed up to Quitely's Lois.

The only bad thing about this series is the waiting between issues... We need to clone Frank Quitely (about 20 times) and Grant Morrison (once or twice) so this can come out weekly. Do you hear me, National Science Foundation? Fulfil your mandate.
Seriously, I cant remember reading a comic with such a smile on my face the whole time.

hate morrison. like him here so far but, im sure theres a ledge somewhere. maybe i just need to think of his stories outside of continuity...or as not a big deal, just a self contained good story.
not usually a big fan of supes.
love quietly's art.

This title is lots of fun. I loved Samson and Atlas. Loved the art. Only Morrison can take this old corny stories and make them fun again...unlike other writers who force the old stories down our throats...and they are just corny with an edge. *ahem*
The art was awesome.

Issue #3 was a blast - Samson and Atlas as fellow 'Super-Men' was inspired. The dialogue was perfect - I loved Lois' tired acceptance of her diminishing powers. This is a good comic.

No comments yet on #4? I thought it was pretty groovy, if not *quite* as excellent as the previous issue. But it definitely captured the feel of a classic Jimmy Olsen story!

I won't get my copy until July 1. But I'll be ready as I've been reading my Superman Family Showcase.

#4 definitely wasn't as good as the previous 3 issues but there were still enough crazy Morrison seeds and quality Quitely art in it to make it enjoyable.
All Star Superman is probably my surprise #1 comic at the moment! Before Seven Soldiers I thought Grant Morrison was THE most overrated writer on the planet, but everything he's done since then has been gold. Not just gold. Platinum!
I wish this series came out weekly! And I can't wait to see what fun elements from the Superman mythos he incorporates next!

Revisiting the question of how Lucy sticks with the fashion challenged Jimmy? Add Bits of modern Superman continuity re-imagined into a silvery-age context. What's not to like?

The Lucy-Jimmy scenes were the best part of the story. Something just didn't quite do it for me about the rest of it, but it's hard to put my finger on exactly what. Of course, by "didn't quite do it for me" I mean it wasn't as awe-inspiring as the previous issues. It's still one of the best comics I've read this month.
