Book of the Week - to SKIP- All-Star Superman: DC Compact Comics Edition

I'm a huge fan of Superman, and I've collected a LOT of Superman comics from the 1970s and 80s (when I think they were at their best).  When I learned that the 2025 Superman film (which I liked) was based on the "All-Star Superman" 12 issue comic run, and put into a compact edition, I bought it.  I was disappointed. That's today's book of the week to avoid if you like Superman of the 70s and 80s. 

I've read Superman pretty consistently from 2005 through 2025, too (with exceptions like the "warworld storyline"). Most of the stories and art I have enjoyed, but this run didn't hit me. 

Although I like writer Grant Morrison, I didn't care for this series which re-wrote and " modernized" Superman's history and added quirks. I also like most of Frank Quietly's art, but he draws Superman in an odd sort of bloated muscle way. 

ABOUT THE BOOK:  All-Star Superman: DC Compact Comics Edition  is a paperback collection of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's acclaimed 12-issue comic series, released in a new, smaller format by DC Comics in July 2024. It collects the complete, award-winning story, featuring iconic characters like Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen, and Bizarro, and is praised as a definitive, modern take on the Man of Steel, exploring themes like mortality and hope through epic adventures
