just picked this up, and it's absoluetly the best take on the character I've ever read. Perfect blend of everything that was good about the Silver Age, the first movie, and current comic sensibilities.

 

I can't wait to re-read it. thumbsup2.gif

I like Quitely's style but the cover seems a little well freaky to me. Sups just looks like a big goofy kid sitting there looking down. I am looking forward to reading it though.

 

I'd rather him look like a big goofy kid than acting like one the way he has the past few years in the regular books.

absolutely dead on...

Was Luthor the best you have seen him in years...

Quitely is an absolute master. When I finished the book I had to make sure it was 12 issues...THANK GOD IT IS NOT LESS!!!!!!!

Also, anyone that loved this...check out WE3 one of the best books I have ever read and by the same team!!!

We3 is, to me, the best mini of the decade so far.

Yeah, WE3 is one of those books you have to revisit again and again. Definitely a classic.

 

Totally. headbang.gif

 

But, then again, I love anything crazy Grant does. My favorite long-running book of the nineties is far and away The Invisibles. No contest on that one. Even Sandman takes a considerable backseat to it, IMO.

 

Loved We3, loved his doom patrol and animal man runs, and I even enjoyed The Filth, which I gather most folks hated.

 

Haven't got my copy of AS Superman yet, but I'm thinking I can swing by the LCS tomorrow. grin.gif

I agree but can also vote for "Chosen". thumbsup2.gif

 

Before he went on hiatus Millar announced a Chosen sequel as a definite for Millarworld 2. thumbsup2.gif

 

893scratchchin-thumb.gif The original had such a great "slap in the face" ending, it could have been left alone but I will be curious to see where he takes the sequel. Hopefully not just a showdown between the two.

Cool! Can you post it on the boards as an attachment? We could take it from there...

 

 

To post from photobucket, you just need to cut and paste the image link into your message. Trust me, it's easy; take it from a technoidiot. wink.gif

[embarrassing lack of self control] was good! (thats ALL STAR SUPERMAN!) I sorta wish the ending would have come a few issues later on, but... Im sure it will all work out fine And yeah - - Luthor was killer! A skinny mean runt, not a fatcat Boss type.
