All-Star Supes #5

[Super Monkey]

That is an awesome cover!

I still believe that All Star Superman is the best Superman book being published right now.  I don't know how they are doing to end this storyline, but I hope the characterizations continue somehow after this story is over.

I agree with the previous poster.  I picked this series up based on the strong response on the board, and it is awesome!  So far #5 is the favorite of the bunch.  The writing is superb, and Mr. Quitely has a great ability with facial features, which is really important with the character driven stories.  

One blurb stands out for me, when Lex was talking to Clark shortly after the riots: "I've always liked you, Kent. You're a humble, modest, uncoordinated human. You're everything HE'S not."  I couldn't help smiling over that one.

I still haven't received my issue yet. I subscribe to it, which is convenient since I do not live near a comic shop and hate the nearest one anyway. But I guess they give the shops some time first before they mail the subscriptions out.

That said, I have all of the issues so far, and this is the first comic I've ever subscribed to. It's that good.

One of the best Luthor stories I have ever read.
Only one small complaint: I never liked the fat Parasite!

[Sword of Superman]

The possibilites with Luthor still amaze me,this villain like the Doctor Doom have infinite stories waiting to be tell,Morrison know that and  gave us another one,and a really good one!Now with brilliant dialogue and fast action All Star for me is becoming the beacon that show to the others how Superman must be done.

I have to say, I do rather miss the "good-guy" Luthor that Maggin wrote so well: you could always identify with him, really. He was basically a good guy who'd gone off the rails a bit.

A.S.S. (uhh, let me try that again) #5 was just great stuff. The only other Superman interpretations I liked as much were Alan Moore and Denny O'Neil's.

And Quitely's is the first real Superman artist to follow Swan & Anderson.

Interestingly, Morrison seems to be thriving on the structure of self contained stories. There is a balance here and control to his work. Quitely has something to do with it, as We3 (which I wasn't excited about, but could respect) also had a well paced feel.

I don't care about puny continuity... this is Superman.
