All Star Superman #5 is an exceptional read. Incredibly strong writing with excellent character work and dialogue combined with wonderful art makes this issue a real blast to read. I am not a big Superman fan at all and I absolutely love this title. That is a real compliment to Morrison and Quitely. Even if you are like me and have never loved the big red S, do yourself and favor and give this title a try. Unless you absolutely dislike Superman and silver age style stories, I think you will enjoy this title. Read Full Review

On its own terms, though, this chapter of All-Star Superman has a charming elegance which hasnt been seen since issue #2, where none of Morrisons ideas exist simply as throwaway indulgences as with previous issues but all work in service of the story. Of course, the imaginative sci-fi concepts are still present, but theyre the icing on the cake: sure, icing on its own is tasty enough (and the last couple of issues are evidence of that) but issue #5 provides the best of both worlds with Morrisons stimulating ideas serving a solid, satisfying and only semi-serious done-in-one tale. Simply put, to make a Superman comic this consistently entertaining, fun and involving is no mean feat, and Im interested to see where the book takes us next. Read Full Review
