The Daily Planet regulars hole up as the terrifying Bizarro plague spreads across Metropolis! Superman's trapped in the reverse madness of a dying Bizarro World! It's ALL STAR thrills from every angle, delivered by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant!
Whilst not the most exciting or flashy issue of All-Star Superman, this is another straightforward story, elegantly told, which tips its hat to the conventions of Silver Age comics whilst still managing to be sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by a modern audience. Morrison's ideas are sufficiently simple that they can be easily understood on a first read, but further perusal reveals layers of depth and invention which will reward more perceptive readers, and Quitely's art is gorgeous stuff. If you're not reading this book, you should be. Read Full Review
All Star Superman #8 was well written, but it was simply far too slow and uneventful for my taste. Morrison gives us a great version of Bizarro Earth, but this issue simply drags and brings this momentum of this title to a halt. Hopefully, Morrison will pick up the pace and excitement a bit with the next issue. Read Full Review
If you like Bizarro, this is the All-Star Superman issue for you. You'll be in heaven. If you dislike or don't care about Bizarro, the issue of All-Star Superman is a passable time-waster. Read Full Review
As a Bizarro story, it was boring and lacking. As a Superman story (especially one claiming to be All-Star), it felt to me that it had destroyed the essential parts of what I love about Superman to make what felt like one big joke. A big joke that failed. Once again, I will drop this book, shake my head, and go read good Superman comics. Read Full Review
The Bizarro American national anthem was one of the greatest and most glorious things I've ever seen in my entire life. This issue was hilarious and brilliant.
What was Comics Bulletin whining about?
