My birthday is tomorrow, I WILL be picking this up. This story means so much to me and has lowkey saved my life and taught me so much. Great video Omar!
Lol, that hidden Superman title is new to me! Frank Quitely grew on me from his X-men run, but also my favourite Superman story unless you count Supreme... Only other Absolutes I have is New Frontier and Promethea. And yeah, I'm a big Morrison fan.
I have the singles, I have the deluxe, had the TPB but love the oversized so I gave that away. Debating on getting this in oversized format from the deluxe edition because this story is good!! But just unsure if I should upgrade…
I know that everyone loves this story and some consider it the best Superman story - but I never could love it. Even understand it some of the time, Grant Morrison style of writing drove me crazy. Panels jumping from one to another without any explanation, some crazy stuff happening... I tried and tried to see this epicness that everyone is talking about but just wasn't able, sadly. And I gave away this absolute edition to my friend. Perhaps one day I might try again.
Can someone tell me if I’m tripping because I honestly wasn’t a big fan of all star superman, it was my first Superman though idk if that had anything to do with it
It depends of the likes and dislikes. If you prefer deluxe, fine, they’re a nice format too. The absolute might have a few extras. But the main difference is that absolutes have a better paper quality (at least to my tastes), they’re sewn together (not glued like the deluxes), and of course larger dimensions.
I read this years ago without knowing who Morrison was or that his take on Superman was so loved. At the time I like it and remember saying "that was a nice story", but nothing else. I don´t get why people like this so much, people even read it once a year and collect it in different formats and is always in the top Morrison/Superman recommendations.
I got my Absolute All Star Super man Book yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful and awesome book to have on a book shelf for anyone who loves good comic books stories . 🦸♂️📚👍👍👍 Great review Omar thank you.

Best format to read this awesome story ❤
I have this but I’m actually contemplating getting the Compact printing to carry around.
Thank you so much for doing these comparisons!
Pre ordered this can’t wait to read it.
That first page of the first issue is the greatest telling of Superman’s Origin ever.
The best superman story ever told. This comic is the GOAT for the boyscout in trunks
How beautiful does this story looks on that big format, thanks for the overview Omar
It’s a very great book. I’m remember reading it when I first
The first Absolute I ever owned
One of us! One of us!
Not the last one for sure
Same. And it got me hooked in buying more absolutes 😅
@@Literatureofimagination are there any absolutes you want right now ?
@@SolidK9 waiting for absolute promethea releasing next year! Also Zero Year, just for Greg Capullo
Can’t wait to read this after New Frontier.

You aren’t tripping. People like different things. I love the animation in Sailor Moon S and my wife thinks Super S has superior animation.
@@NearMintCondition what other super man stories would you reccomend?
How is this better than the deluxe edition I already own?

@@dannyc8876 ok, ty
And it has...........A RIBBON. 🤤 Classy
Bigger
It's bigger! Ribbons are nice, but I'm also scared of them. Some one has torn a page in one of my other books...

I didn't understand why people loved All Star the first time I read it, but I like it more and more each time I read it.
It's also nice and short. Big epic runs are so hard to recommend.
