I agree with you about "All-Star Superman"! Man, that's a good story so far-- and it'll get better, right??!? "All-Star Batman", however.... not so good. "Batman: Dark Detective" by Steve Englehart & Marshall Rogers would've been a better "All-Star" version of Batman. Maybe the next 6-part series of their tale will be an "All-Star" book (or should be, if they can do that). Either way, I'm looking forward to that, too.
"All Star Superman" has to be DC's best title now that "Manhunter" is being cancelled, which I am still upset about btw. Marvel's "Astonishing X-Men" would be even better if it wasn't perenially late, so I have to give the title to "New X-Men" which is turning in some very solid stories. As far as other titles worth checking out, "Ultimate Spiderman" is one great comic, despite the fact I haven't cozied up to the ultimate universe, but it's grand fun and closer to Spidey than in the regular book where he is dressed in that hedious red and gold armor. Check out my blog for more of my rants. peace out.
Manhunter isn't cancelled yet--it got a repreive to issue #30. So encourage all your friends to buy it too!
Astonishing isn't late--it's bi-monthly these days.
