Simply put, it´s all that is great, not only about Superman, but also about super heroes.

All-Star Superman
Publisher: @dccomics
Writer: @grant.morrison
Artist: @frankquitelyofficial
Colors: Jamie Grant
Superman is dying! After stopping Lex Luthor's plan to destroy a research mission orbiting the sun all is well… or so it seems. Superman is now super charged by the Sun thanks to Luthor's true plan. His cells supercharged with solar radiation, the man of steel is slowly exploding cell by cell. Superman/Clark knowing this, sets out on a year long farewell.
In this book we see Superman confess his secrets to Lois Lane and Clark Kent has a true one on one with Lex Luthor who is on death row for his crimes. Luthor respects Clark and wants the world to know that he was the one that killed Superman. Superman faces challen
ges along the way affecting people's lives for the better. Luthor escapes from prison with a serum that grants him Superman-like powers. In his last act of heroism, Superman stops Solaris, Lex's ally, from destroying the earth. However, the damage Solaris has done to our sun cannot be undone. A dying Superman stops a power crazed Luthor and tells Lois he loves her right before flying into the sun. Superman, now a solar being, works the machinery to keep the sun alive.
From sun eating monsters, a journey to the planet Zibarro, evil Kryptonians, time traveling, and an amazing fight with Parasite. Also you get to see as much of Kal-El as Clark both who are at peace with their fate. Grant Morrison fires on all cylinders here. The way the book has Clark seem so relaxed as to what is going to happen really makes this book stand out from the rest of superman's books. The action is loud but the dialog is quiet with a somber feel to it. This along with Frank Quietly's fantastic art to give this book a truly Silver Age of comics feel. This comic really is what the death of Superman should be/been. But most importantly, All Star Superman reminds us of one thing. Superman may not be everyone's favorite superhero but he is the best superhero and this book proves it!

One of Morrison & Quitely's best collaborations.
this is probably one of my favorite superman stories i've ever read.
the portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman is absolutely perfect!
there's also a very nice set-up for DC One Million if you've ever read it.
it's not necessary that you do, but it does add a nice layer if you get the reference.

Seriously overrated if you're not a Superman fan. It was the first superman comic I ever bought, and though it was dissappointing given all the love it recieves. A key problem is that Morrison cross-references and storyline assumes that you know a lot about the mythos of superman, which wasn't my case. Also, I found the story simplistic and dull.
