Another awesome issue. Does anyone think the solid gold Superman at the end is none other than distant-future Kal-El himself? It's kind of hinted at.

Yeah its him from the 853rd century, as seen in the DC One Million X-Over.
Reading it for the umpteenth time I still cant believe how well written this was. Its a Superman story that's been told many times but GM's version is right up there with the best of them.

Hmm... I wasn't really all that impressed by #7.
I found it kind of confusing and hard to follow. To the extent that when I reached the title page, inexplicably place like four pages before the end, I wondered for a moment if the pages were out of order or something.
Anyway, the take on the Bizarros was kind of interesting, but not all that exciting. I appreciated seeing the crew from Planet, but the Chief looked kind of weird.

EDE I agree. In fact to me the whole issue seemed to be a prelude and a bit confusing (still cant make head nor tail out of that very first panel)and maybe the title page should have been the last page.
I loved the fact that the Planet staffer (argh! can't recall his name) was immune to the Bizarro virus due to the "performance enhancement" drugs he's taking. ...Maybe I should respond to those SPAM e-mails after all.

This was my least favorite AS Superman issue yet till the last page that is. Zibarro made things more interesting but before that it just seemed to drag on.

Over at Newsarama Grant gave a 52 exit interview. They asked if he ever felt in a pinch and he stated there was one month he did. ASM #8 was one.
He also said all his other work suffered b/c of 52. Guess we can chalk last issue as a 52 victim.

Just read #10 and it might have been the second best issue of thes eries (the first being the previously applauded #6). A great issue with some really dynamic moments and yet another misty-eyed moment at the end.
Grant used the Superman Emergency Rescue Squad and the "little Superman coming out of his hand" bits and turned them into one of the most heartfelt panels of 2008.
This series is amazing. Its just so far ahead of most of the market.
