The comic book I'm enjoying the most these days


From aicn, Grant Morrison is hard at work on his Eisner-winning “All-Star Superman,” which I judge to be the best set of Clark Kent stories since Alan Moore slammed shut the book on Earth One’s Man of Steel in 1986. Only 10 issues of this all-star title have seen print since the series began in 2005, but they’re well worth the wait, full as they are of sparkly new takes on well-worn characters and situations. Issue 10, which hit shelves last week, is very sad, dealing with a dying Superman trying to take care of a lot of unfinished business. Artist Frank Quitely’s Lois Lane is an insanely sexy wench.

[JPX] So far every issue has been a slam dunk for me - well worth checking out!

Yep, this is fantastic. Grant Morrison really gets the high-octane weirdness of Superman's world. And I've always liked Quitely's art. I heard a while ago that he's a major stoner, and getting the art on time could be difficult. Worth the wait, though.
