Morrison portrays Superman not only as a hero but as a scientist and a kind of sun god who, like in a Greek epic, journeys to the underworld before returning. I'm not a huge fan of Frank Quitely's art, especially the way he draws teeth.

Morrison's All Star Superman's twelve issues mirror the twelve labors of Hercules. It strikes a strange balance between wacky and poignant as Superman contemplates his legacy. Morrison covers all the bases--time travel, other dimensions, and a final showdown with Lex Luthor.
And now the after photo! I want to read all of these right now. I blame saga for getting me into comics! It's a new world with so much to read!!
1. Lots of places. My parents moved around a lot while I was growing up. 2. All-Star Superman. 3. Everything by Rick Riordan. 4. Lawrence of Arabia. 5. Avatar: The Last Airbender. 6. David Bowie. 7. Dark blue. 8. Fantasy, or anything philosophical. 9. Adams State University. 10. Not right now. @maich I have a lot of favorites for all of these. So here are just a few #meetthelittens
pickThis is the Superman story for people who do not understand Superman. It is also the story for people who love Superman. In addition to being a unique character study, and a send up to the Silver Age of comics, it is also a gripping tale that will make you not want to put it down. Grant Morrison captures the wonder, charm, and ultimate goodness of the most famous superhero of all time. A great experience for everyone.
pickSaturday morning. The fabulous Louis Armstrong in the legendary Hot Fives & Sevens recordings. One of the greatest Superman stories in the last couple of decades. It might feel like the world is in a nosedive towards total destruction, but that is just another reason to do the things in life you enjoy. This will only give you strength. Strength needed to let your voice be heard. Don't go quiet into the night. Don't give up on decency and love.
pickI read this shortly after seeing BvS. Upon leaving the theater, I was upset, and All-Star Superman was just what I needed. This is Superman at his best: selfless and kind. A hero who fills you with hope. This comic still makes me feel some kind of way, and I always find myself thinking about it.
