More than that, nothing is too small to escape his notice. It’s because he is always thinking twenty steps ahead, calculating, extrapolating and triumphing through his ingenuity and preparation, rather than with muscle. This Superman has more power than most of his opponents but that isn’t why he always defeats them. What Superman represents is ultimate optimism, ultimate belief in humanity and its will to defeat any problem and be the best it can be. And when you are a demi-god, your best is pretty good.Īll Star Superman sums up the essence of what Superman is and why he is the greatest and most mythic superhero of all. But rather than waste even a moment on bitterness or anger, he is doing the best he can with the time he has left. This volume begins with Superman saving Earth from a Bizarro invasion while engaged in completing a great number of tasks, because he will soon be dead. Morrison’s ultimate version of The Man of Steel is a demi-god boosted to incredible power as a side-effect of a death-trap created by his mortal enemy Lex Luthor. All-Star Superman Volume 2 collects the second half of the multi-award-winning twelve-issue series written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Frank Quitely and digitally inked and coloured by Jamie Grant.
