All-Star Superman #1
This volume collects the first six issues of the celebrated 12-issue maxiseries by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, reimagining Superman's mythos with a Silver Age sensibility. The story follows the Man of Steel as he faces his own mortality after being overexposed to solar radiation, leading to a poignant exploration of his legacy and heroism. It includes iconic moments like Lex Luthor's grand scheme and Superman's final days, all rendered with Quitely's distinctive, detailed artwork.
In "All-Star Superman #1," Superman faces a crisis unlike any before—his body, pushed to the limit while saving a damaged solar probe, begins to deteriorate from extreme stellar radiation. Written by Grant Morrison and brought to life with striking art by Frank Quitely, this issue launches a poignant, high-stakes journey where the Man of Steel confronts his own mortality. The cover by Frank Quitely captures the moment’s weight with haunting precision.
In "Sweet Dreams, Superwoman...", Lois Lane shares a dazzling, dreamlike day with Superman, their bond deepening as he effortlessly handles the extraordinary—until the arrival of Samson and Atlas, now hunted by the fearsome Ultrasphinx, throws their perfect afternoon into unexpected peril.
In "The Superman / Olsen War!", Jimmy Olsen takes temporary charge of P.R.O.J.E.C.T. and accidentally unleashes black kryptonite, transforming Superman into a villain. Forced to act, Jimmy dons the Doomsday persona to confront the corrupted hero—only to face the consequences of his own choices.
In the stark confines of a high-security prison, Clark Kent sits down with Lex Luthor, the man once known as Superman’s greatest enemy, now facing execution for crimes that shook the world. As their conversation unfolds, the weight of Lex’s words and Clark’s own power begin to stir something far more dangerous than either expected—something that threatens to unravel everything.
In "Funeral in Smallville," just before Clark Kent departs Smallville for Metropolis, he’s visited by three versions of Superman from the future—each bearing echoes of what’s to come. As the lines between past and future blur, a quiet tension builds around a secret agenda one of them carries, leaving Clark to face a moment that feels both inevitable and deeply personal.
