All-Star Superman, Volume 1

Superman saves an expedition to the sun, but mortally injures himself in so doing. Slowly dying, he sets his affairs in order with Lois and others in the first volume of the All-Star Superman storyline.

This series is widely lauded as one of the top story arcs about the Man of Steel. This first volume underwhelmed, though. It collects six individual issues, some of which appear unrelated to the overall arc of Supes dying. It is hailed as a fresh (but classic) look at Superman, both in story and art, and I see elements of that, but not in a captivating way. Maybe it ties together better if I would read more volumes . . . I'm not sure I will. 

Rating: C+
