Customer Reviews
Grant Morrison has managed to capture the essence of Superman--the character, his universe, his friends, even his enemies--and instill the entire proceedings with a sense of silver-age wonder mixed with modern-age sensibilities.
Beyond that, there's a wistful, ephemeral vibe to the proceedings, as an overarcing plotline to the series deals with Superman's belief that he is slowly dying. He moves through his life knowing he's living on borrowed time, and the reader senses this as well. It's hard to explain, but you feel it, and it's majestic and sad at the same time.
Frank Quitely's pencils have matched every wild notion Morrison's suggested to date, including a delightfully whacked-out incarnation of Superman's Fortress of Solitude and a world filled with Bizarros.
This is the superhero comic all other superhero comics should aspire to be--it's hard to say enough good things about it, really. Just read it. You'll see.
