Okuduğum ilk çizgi roman olmasına karşın beni pek de etkilemedi. Yani çizimler, özellikle de Süperman, çok kaba tasvir edilmişti. Yüz hatları korkunçtu. Kısacası Süperman, Süperman değildi. Benim o dizilerde, çizgi filmlerde ve filmlerde izlediğim çekiciliği yoktu.
Hatta bez bağlamış, hantal adam diye geçirmedim değil içimden. Hayallerimin Süpermen'ine hakaret be bu!

3.5/5 Stars - "...Faster..."

It's a new year, so why not set myself a comic reading challenge?
Here we go then.
I'm going to read a Superman comic every day leading up to the release of the new Superman movie on July 11th (and beyond probably, let's see how I go 🤓)
Day One - All-Star Superman No. 1
This is superb.
I read it when it first came out but if course I never finished reading through to the end of the series, as I do 🙄
From the design and execution of the art by Frank Quitely, to the concepts, plot and dialogue from Grant Morrison, this is perfection in my estimation.
What a great place to start my challenge ☺️

Reading these single issues after a long time it's nice as I can finish them double fast the art was nice and the setup is nice too let's see how it goes. Let's carry on and Keep on Reading.
I have always loved comics, and I have I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

Doomed planet, desperate scientists, last hope, kindly couple.
While its nostalgic tone and art style won’t suit everyone, it stands as a powerful kickoff to what many consider one of the best Superman tales ever. If you're looking for a comic that embraces both spectacle and heart and you don’t mind a bit of retro flair this is a stellar beginning.

Well, that was not what I expected. This was a truly excellent comic. I love the storyline and the artwork is superb. All your favorite characters are there even if they look a bit different than you are familiar with. The essence of Superman is preserved and yet, modernized. Good for any fan.

...FASTER...
A Superman story where Superman saving lives ends up costing himself his in the end. Cannot see where the story goes from here, but this first issue was fantastic and the art is incredible.

After reading #68 of Tom King's Batman, I must say for the first time in a long time, I was interested in Superman. After he said "I love being Superman, but hate that I have to be Superman;" I got the chills.
Superman has always been too mentally healthy for me to find interesting. What stories can you even tell with a character so powerful? Where's the tension? Where's the drama?
I figured the only truly interesting thing to do with a character like him, aside from inspire readers- would be to explore profound findings in a personality such as his. Even though I don't think a lot of great STORIES can be found in a Superman comic or movie. Him as a character, as an idea, as a personality, that is where I believe the most treasures are to be gained. Exploring how and why he reacts to the things he does... that's what might get me interested.
I can't help but think this is one character you wouldn't wanna write for, because it's so hard. Like, you know how everyone thinks working at McDonald's is easy because just about anyone can work there? I kinda see Superman as this thing only great writers, thoughtful readers and earnest idea people should be allowed to touch. Because I think a lot of people feel like they understand Superman, but they really don't. Hell, I don't think even I fully grasp what makes him so inspiring. In all his simplicity and primary colors I feel like there is so much complex untapped potential. And I'm sad because I have never found a movie or cartoon that ever really spoke to me in regards to his... everything.
Symbol of Hope? I see it, I just don't care.
However, when I read the description for Grant Morrison's All Star Superman, I knew I had found what I was looking for. A premise as simple and as intriguing as "Superman has cancer" with a cover as hopeful and colorful as that- I just knew, this has gotta be it.
Having now finished the first issue/chapter... yeah. I found it. I have been won over. I feel like Batman #68 got me warmed up. But now I'm ready. If this doesn't make you a Superman fan, nothing will.
I can remember watching the Dick Donner Superman as a kid and feeling like this was all fine I suppose, just a bit old fashioned. I remember watching Superman Returns in theaters and liking it? I didn't RETURN to it often, but I thought it was fine. In both of these instances, I thought Superman was, honestly, kind of a bore. (Clark was alright in the Donner one).
I remember watching Man of Steel and not being able to finish it. (What a scary film that was. Lois and Superman kissing over a landscape of ashes and destruction... yikes. But it sure looked cool).
Grant Morrison's writing on the Invisibles (so far) hasn't been hitting me. He's a writer I want to love, but am only just starting to warm up to.
His writing here is so freaking simple, but is layered with a ton of nuance, thoughtfulness and straight up fun.
I also can't think of another time Lex Luthor has ever felt this sinister. I tend to forget about him just cause I'm such a big Joker fan, especially from a visual standpoint. A bald headed billionaire don't do much for me.
I loved the timing and pace of everything. It would slow down and then speed up into a very loose feeling montage of events. You don't even have to know much about Superman to read this.
I don't even know how to talk about the art. Simple lines with a trillion tons of depth in the coloring department. This is one of the easiest comics on the eyes. Eye candy? More like an Eye protein. Eye fiber.
It's good goddammit!
I'm in awe of this thing. I'm trying to take my time and let it simmer. Feel like I'm gonna end up binging the ever loving hell outta it anyway.

The first issue of All-Star Superman greatly introduces us to the general idea and approach of the story: the known Superman tropes are all here, but they're planting the seeds for a different use of the tropes; it's like recognizing what makes Superman while also giving us something new. It has a lot of dialogue, sometimes not very personal, but that's where the art by Frank Quitely compliments Morrison's story: all the personal stuff is in the character's emotions and mannerisms. This is a credit to both the writing and the art, as Morrison still have to give guidelines to the artist, and the artist needs to be talented enough to portray the required elements on the page, and Quitely delivers; although there are times when Superman looks exaggeratedly bulky. The layout, which feels very cinematic at times more than makes up for any small quips Quitely's art have. Also, the coloring: amazing, elements distinctive from one another while still looking like it all belongs in the same reality; this is truly made in such a way so that even the smallest of elements work in harmony. A fantastic first issue of one of Superman's greatest stories.

It's really hard to know what to make of this. It was an interesting enough, self-contained, Superman story. As a superhero story, suspension of disbelief is high. So, I don't need a lot of pseudo-futuristic science to help justify - this had too much of that. Certain plot points seemed important and were just dropped entirely. The art was beautiful, but a bit underwhelming. It had it's shining moments, too. Such as Superman, as Clark Kent, escaping Luthor's prison by way of the River Styx.

Als liefhebber van Amerikaanse superhelden comics, had ik iets meer van deze graphic novel verwacht. De artwork is top, maar de verhalen vaag en tamelijk abstract veelal. Vermoedelijk bewust om wat kunstzinnig over te komen, maar heeft voor mij niet gewerkt.
July 7, 2025
I can’t believe it took me this long to finally read this series, but wow did I chose the best way to do it by listening to the fully released audiobook while reading it. It provides so much depth to the story and fun additional voice actors, while allowing me the chance to really appreciate Quitely’s art. I’ve unfortunately recommended this story before but I’ve never read it myself, so this is my chance, but right from the start I see that this is totally more of an end game Superman story than anything to start with. Superman’s origin is really only covered in a few short words on the first page:
“Doomed Planet. Desperate Scientists. Last Hope. Kindly Couple.”
This issue then immediately throws us into the action as we join the crew of the Ray Bradbury. A voyage ship manned by the scientist Leo Quintum and his synthetic humans…but there is an additional problem they have just noticed, a gift from Luthor. One of their synthetics has been armed to become a human suicide bomb, intent on preventing them from harnessing energy from the sun. Leo is trying to be the first to harness the power, and based on the growth of this genetic bomb…he may never get to do it. But at the same time Superman is rushing towards the craft, getting the closest he ever has been to the sun’s 6000 degree Fahrenheit atmosphere.
All the while Lois is already writing the headline: “Superman saves first manned sun-mission.” But it doesn’t take long for that headline to change once Jimmy shows up and everyone is called into Perry’s office. It turns out they have the scoop, no one believed them when they said Luthor hadn’t reformed and now they have the proof. He has been heavily investing in water and damning rivers, intent to profit from a global water shortage after tampering with the Sun. Tomorrow’s front head page: “LUTHOR LIED.”
We now jump over to Luthor, strapped up and wired to the teeth as he is remotely controlling the suicide bomber from Earth, with a 9 minute delay in between. General Lane approaches him as it seems when the military pulled him out to work on their projects they didn’t keep close enough supervision to realize he was doing other things, until they received some calls from reporters. But Lex isn’t listening to them, he had a realization a while ago. He looked in the mirror and saw the aging around his eyes…and realized Superman’s isn’t getting any older. So now it’s time to really get serious about killing Superman.
Speaking of, he has finally arrived to the Ray Bradbury and has engaged the monster in combat. He has no intention of preventing it from blowing up…just helping it to the airlock and expediting the process a bit using the Sun. But oddly as Superman threw the monster outside…he developed a new power. Instead of the heat vision he was expecting to knock the monster back, he experienced frost visit on that sent it into the sun! Then he developed another new power by expanding his bio electric shield to wrap the ship in a net and get it back to their moon base safely. There Leo and Superman ran extensive tests on his body and found that he had tripped his strength, able to artificially lift the size of planets using their tech. But this isn’t exactly good news, it seems his trip to the sun has exposed Superman to critical levels of radiation. More than his cells can process and now cell death has become. Even for the man of steel there is only one outcome…death. Superman can even see the cells beneath his skin like fireworks going off. Leo blames himself, if he hadn’t tried to steal fire from the Sun then this wouldn’t have happened. Lex used Leo to kill Superman.
But Leo is a scientist looking to the future, as such he brought Superman down to the lower levels of his facilities. It turns out he resurrected the DNA project towards the goal of engineering new suped humans to take over in case anything ever happened to Superman. This ranges from bizzaro worker drones, to voyager titans intent on exploring deep space for centuries, all the way down to nanonauts exploring the mysteries of the cell and the atom. And now Leo promises that he will find a way to save or replace Superman if they have to. Superman thanks him, he always has to believe there is another way. But at the moment no one must know, there are things he has to do.
We now jump back to metropolis as Superman saves a child from getting hit by a truck and Clark Kent stumbles into the office, falling over himself in the process. The story breaks and Luthor turns himself over to authorities immediately for crimes against humanity. At the issue comes to an end Clark helps walk Lois home, and he finally gets her to stop talking when he finally tells her the truth by pulling down his glasses and opening his shirt to reveal his super suit underneath! Hahahaha, here we go!

Holds up pretty well. Morrison’s writing isn’t pulling the weight it gets credit for; it’s not bad at all, it’s just a bit too absorbed in its concept and it obfuscates the emotional through line at times. Quietly is starting off on a transcendent level though; amazing sense of scope, imaginative sci-fi bullshit, wonderfully theatrical character acting, and some brilliant visualizations of the passage of time.
My biggest gripe is with the inking and coloring treatment. I know the intent behind just scanning and darkening Quitely’s pencils is to preserve his intention without relying on an inker to get it right, but that effect combined with the overly airbrushed, largely unharmonious digital colors, makes the whole thing look less beautiful than it deserves.
The first page and the last page are stunning.

This would appear to be a reboot of Superman, though I can't be sure. It is an interesting story. Although the characters are the same people there do seem to be differences. I am not sure but for one thing it appears Clark and Lois are not married (at least not yet). Superman in this story rescues some sort of scientific expedition which is headed into the sun. By doing so he sets up a situation whereby he may die. Of course all this was set up by one Lex Luthor. Of course Luthor's reason for hating Superman is now somewhat different that it has been in the past. As well there seems to be some sort of military involvement in all this. Still and all not a bad book, though I question if we really need yet another reboot of the Superman mythos. Oh well, if this one doesn't work out they can always do another one. Happy reading.

Es la biblia de Superman, un comic muy independiente de la cronología del universo DC, lo que lo hace hace fácil de leer además, a lo largo de sus capítulos relatan los últimos días de vida de Superman y todos sus intentos por dejar un legado para la humanidad antes de su muerte, el comic está lleno de filosofía y de una caracterización muy tierna y afable del personaje en cuestión, lo que lo convierte en una lectura importante para todo aquel que quiera comprender al hombre de azul.

Not as great as people say at all…
I’m reading this issue to see what the new Superman movie will be based on. James Gunn says these issues are what he’s using for the most inspiration. There isn’t much inspirational stuff here…
This issue mainly covers the reason for this story and a slight exposition for characters like Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Superman.
Not intrigued by the story at all, but I’ll keep reading to see what it’s about.

El científico Leo Quintum lidera un equipo de excavación espacial a la superficie del sol terrestre a bordo de su nave espacial, la Ray Bradbury. El cuerpo de uno de los hombres muta y sabotea la nave, cortesía de Lex Luthor. Superman vuela al rescate, exponiendo su cuerpo a 3600 grados Celsius.
Es un muy buen primer número para una de las historias Elseworld más icónicas. Esa referencia a Johann Sebastian Bach fue increíble.

Mr. Morrison is obsessed with showing us how/why Supes is such a good guy, and dangit, this 12-issue run (while potentially apocryphal) is a sterling raison d'etre for our favorite Man'o'Steel. Not only will you believe a man can fly, but you bet your ass you will believe that the chiseled, confident Kryptonian can convincingly frump himself down into the bumbling, anxiety-ridden sweetheart we know as Clark Kent. And, if Zibarro, the lone "forward" being on Bizzaro world, isn't the perfect metaphor for our universal existential angst...
Read this. It's great.

My boyfriend has insisted that I read this run as it's something very dear to him, and I think he wants to change my perception on Superman.
The art in this is STUNNING and I actually like it so far. There may not be much review for further issues as there's a lot in the comic world, but I will continue reading.

I'm not your typical DC comics reader so All Star Superman was a change of pace from what I usually pick up. There's no rivalry quite as classic as Superman and Lex Luthor but I feel like I came into this issue missing some very important backstory. Maybe I'll pick up issue #2 or maybe I won't... the story was just okay.

Issue #1
Superman meets mortality with quiet dignity.
Morrison opens with a god learning he's dying — and his first instinct is to help more, not less. The Sun mission and its aftermath are sweeping, but the real power lies in Superman’s reaction: no rage, no denial — only grace and resolve. It reintroduces him as a mythic figure already walking his final days with serenity.

Superman really just doesn’t do it for me outside of Kingdom Come which was fantastic. It’s just too hard to make a story impactful when everything has to be so outlandish for it to threaten Superman.

The combination of storytelling and visual gave life to the characters — most importantly, Superman. Although this is my first read of Superman in comics, I find it interesting. It got me hooked to the whole DC Universe and will definitely look forward to the Superman Legacy film in 2025!

The coloring is a bit dated for the particular era, but the story pacing, efficient run through all the supporting cast, and devilish scheme from the villain make this one easy book to sell anyone on Superman.
