“Although Superman has never been a favorite of mine, I think this book is one of my favorite depictions. The different situations he’s in force him to be drawn out a little as a character, and he has to make some tough choices, admit where he’s gone wrong, and stay steadfast about the things he’s done right. There are also a couple very tender moments not to be forgotten.
After reading Batman, Superman, Animal Man, Authority, JLA…I think Grant Morrison does his best work with the big, blue Boy Scout. You’d think darker characters would be more suited to his skill set, but I wonder if buried under the layers of weird science stuff and bizarre fourth wall breaking there’s an optimist of some kind in there.
Anyone read Morrison’s Supergods book? Is it any good?”
