    That first page of the first issue is the greatest telling of Superman’s Origin ever.

    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.

      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.

      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.
