Respect All-Star Superman!

I've already posted the scan showing A/S Superman creating a new Earth [Earth Q]:

======

After re-reading that issue, I've come to the conclusion that "Earth Q" was possibly intended to be our Earth...

My reasoning..

Here, on "Earth Q", we see Friedrich Nietzsche (presumably) creating his famous Ubermensch, or "Superman" concept:

(You must read the panel very closely, to see the fine details.)

======

Also, an unseen Joe Shuster (presumably), drawing the first modern Superman [as seen from Action Comics #1] on "Earth Q":

Just some food for thought. 🙂

Jor-El explains Superman's ultimate choice/final labor:

======

Superman lives!:

======

The amped Luthor begins viewing creation how Superman sees it all the time. The experience is almost too much for him to handle:

======

Supes owns Luthor one last time:

Due to Superman's exposure to the sun, his entire being started converting to pure energy, pure information..

It was only because of this process, that Superman was able to attempt his final feat..... Repairing the sun:

That scene gave me chills..

======

-Lois-

"Superman's not dead... Maybe some people believe it. But I know he's up there, building an artificial heart to keep the sun alive. He'll be back when he's done, Jimmy."

"And when he's done, he knows where to find me":

Does A/S Supes = Superman Prime (from DC1M)? hmm

======

Quintum reveals his "Superman Project".... For some reason, I think Superman Secondus [who was touched on during DC1M] will be revealed:

great scan showing Superman and Lois.

I'm almost sad to see this end. I know Morrison said he wants to return to this universe so I hope it doesn't take long.

i agree, this story has just been epic. from start to finish, it left me wanting more. all in all it was probably one of my more favorite reads, ever.

I just noticed that I hadn't posted this, rather impressive/important, feat:

Note that every type of Kryptonite is just sitting on some shelves right behind A/S Supes, yet he is completely unfazed. This suggests that he eventually developed an immunity to each of their effects. Very impressive.

How do you know that's Kryptonite?

I know it's not explicitly stated that they were Kryptonite, but imo it's one of those "2+2=?" things. For instance, it was never explicitly stated that the golden version of Supes we saw at the end of issue #6 was Superman Prime (from DC One Million), but most of us were still able to discern that for ourselves. *shrug*

It's a bit like the Alien Skull in the Predator ship in Predator 2. It doesn't have to be labeled for you to know what it is.

Fair enough

Lets start with this page from All-Star Superman #6, in which All-Star Superman meets some alternate versions of Superman:

---

Now, from Superman/Batman #80 -- In the middle panel, Superman/Batman M* fly by a 5th dimensional Imp who looks A LOT like Klyzyzk Klzntplkz, the Superman of the 5th dimension:

---

Also from Superman/Batman #80 -- The Unknown Superman of the 46th century was referenced as well:

(far right panel)

---

Something also worth noting is that Lois first met the Unknown Superman in All-Star Superman #2. During said meeting, he said: "It is terrible... Darkness is here":

And if you payed attention, you should remember that the scene from Superman/Batman depicting the Unknown Superman states that he and Batman were busy contending with a "greater darkness" than Epoch.

---

In a nutshell, this is just more proof that the mainstream DCU and the All-Star universe are linked in some way/shape/form.

Did Superman die, or what's the deal.

No. He fixes the sun. Eventually he becomes the Golden Superman from DC one million.
