"All-Star Superman"

One of the last ones of the first superhero for our first batch of reviews. Revolutionary of the genre, Morrison touched on some of the heavyweights of the superhero biuniversality a long time ago already. He already told us with Quitely his version about the X-Men with a staff of classic members refreshing the collection. Also recently, he's been working on the death and reconstruction of Batman's myth. All-Star Superman came to introduce us Superman's definitive story. Since the beginning, we know Superman dies and that will be the bottom context of all the episodes that make the work up. Nevertheless we're not before a completely twilight tale. Out of the continuity of regular series, Morrison reviews each one of the aspects, characters and situations characteristic of the comic and narrates them with the universal purity of the first ones, but not losing a shred of his surprising inventiveness and contemporary narrative. Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant, for their part, perfectly pick up the intention of the first one and illustrate it strongly and cinematicly, making it unavoidable to think about the hero of the eighties cinema. Hard work after the multiple parodies and, in many cases, wears and decays of the genre; the authors make a brilliant review to the Kryptonian and to the human, to his relationship with Lois, to the archenemy, to science fiction, to the search of identity, to the responsibility towards the world... getting back the best modern icon of human hope created by its imagination.
