Let me preface that question with.
I'm a massive Morrison fan.
I love his new52 ac run.
Morrison has other incredible work like Multiversity and Final Crisis...
Then there's All Star Superman, one of the most pointed to go to stories by this community and seems commonly reveared.
Let me also say I read primarly Superman in the 90s as a teenager ... then stopped. Since about 2016 I've been reading steady.
I avoided buying All Star cause I hated the art, specifically that superman appears to be wearing a diaper and sweat pants in that rendition...
Eventually I bought it at a used book store.
Totally shocked at how basic and lame the story was. Visit to luthor, some demonstrations of strength, weird episode on bizarro world... not much going on...
The Animated movie helped me enjoy the story more, but they refined a dud...
Honestly it wasnt that bad, other then the art..
Its just so so so hyped and I cant imagine why.
I'd never point to such a basic story, as the best story of all time...
Not trying to be rude but what do fan boys see in this particular story?
So many great books, with great art... and this is everyones crown jewel???
I voted Jurgens... but at least 5 or so of those names deserve big props.
Morrison is definitely one of them
