I figure if Miller and Lee's Batman & Robin can have a thread,why can't this amazing story by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely have one?For those who don't know,All-Star Superman is the multiple Eisner award winning 12-issue series following The Man of Steel as he completes 12 tasks.That is pretty much all I can tell those who haven't read it yet(without spoiling it).Well,Discuss!

One of the best comics I've ever read. It is really, really good. Anyone who is a Superman lover will love it, and even those who are haters should read it. It would turn haters into believers.

This is one of the books people should get to see why Superman is so loved and praised to have lasted over 70 years of comic history. One of the top Superman stories, and a great overall tribute to the many eras of Superman.

Frank Quietly is just stunning to me, it really broke my heart when they switched artists on Batman & Robin, I felt like the series lost a lot of its charm.

This is one of THE Best Superman stories I have ever read.Morrison's vision and Quitely's execution make for a masterpiece in storytelling.It has the makings of an epic.Love,Loss,Tragedy,Humor,and the 12 tasks only add to the grand scale of things.
