Superman All Star 1.
Anyone else happen to get this?
Superman freezes an entire section of the sun with his breath...
Extends a TK field over a ship to save it from destruction..
Then they show him effortlessly lifting 200 Quintillion tons, and the scientists find it remarkable they still haven't found an upper limit.
Pretty sick stuff for one issue.

Yeah, I got it. I said in the comic of the month thread that it was good, but not an answer to Marvel's Ultimate line.
It was a Sun Dipped Superman that did the 200 Quintillion ton thing. Too bad he's going to die from it. His cells absorbed too much energy and are "bursting like fireworks" according to Supes.
It was leagues beyond Allstar Batman and Robin.

If was a pretty amazing issue. I expected no less from Morrison who loves Supes.
Seems like regular supes is manifesting some of energy supes powers...maybe that is what the "death" is about. Great beginning to a storyline though.
Just remember kids, the All-Star line is at right angles to continuity--this holds about as much water as Superman one-handing the entire Green Lantern Corps in SRS. (Although that too, was awesome.)
This was a good first issue, though surprisingly spartan in plot for a Morrison comic. This was pretty decompressed, which was dissapointing, but I guess Morrisson had to pad it out to 12 issues somehow.

Also, did anyone yet mention, the 200 quintillion tons thing.. was done with one hand?

I completely agree though about it being a great series though. In fact, the guy who owns our cities biggest comic shop added one into EVERYONE's file where they put all the subscriptions. He recommended it to all... impressive when you consider he's a Marvel fan.. He said it was probably the best new book that's started in a while.
This is pre crisis levels story. Wich is the type Morrison loves. Good stuff.
"Nah, it was said in the old man of steel comics from the original post-crisis reboot of Superman, that he had the tk field he projects over things. [This is where Gladiator ripped it off from"
Werent both concepts created by Byrne when he had the hold on those characters?
Originally posted by olympianYep, Byrne wrote it for both. But what does that change?

Originally posted by olympianI was speaking character-wise, GLADIATOR, THE CHARACTER, Coppied the FEAT AND POWERS of the SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL.
Its not a rip off per se if it was made by the same guy.
But in either case, all of these are executive decisions, going higher up the chain than the writers themselves.
It's pretty irrefutible, that Gladiator and his powerset were imposed to be a mockery of Superman.
"I was speaking character-wise, GLADIATOR, THE CHARACTER, Coppied the FEAT AND POWERS of the SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL."
No, you said:
"Nah, it was said in the old man of steel comics from the original post-crisis reboot of Superman, that he had the tk field he projects over things. [This is where Gladiator ripped it off from"
Wich is the TK field concept. Created by the same guy, therefore there is no rip off.
Glads and the imperial guard wer ripped off from The Legion of Superheroes concept.
Originally posted by olympianYes, and I said, GLADIATORS powers/feats were ripped off of SUPERMAN'S powers/feats.

I know where the concept of Gladiator and the empire came from.

Yeah, how boring would those threads be. It'd be the same thing every time.
"Oh yeah, well Allstar Superman resisted 200 quintillion tons with one hand. He wins."
And everyone else would just say, "yup"
For another thing completely unrelated; why did anyone even bring Gladiator into the conversation? The only reason i'm seeing here is to take a pot shot at Marvel.
