All Star Superman is a one off story that really helps define the icon of Superman. In this story Superman is not like any human. Though he may have the emotions, he is portrayed as a god-like figure and that his purpose in life is to help and protect humanity. All Star Superman is basically the story of, if you knew you only had X amount of days to live, what would you do with those remaining days. This story answers that for Superman. It touches on his relationships with Lois Lane, Lex Luther, and Jimmy Olson. I really liked this story. It really gives you a great understanding on why Superman isn't just an iconic comic book character, but an icon in and of itself. The art is very good. I would recommend this book to anyone starting out it comics. There is no need to have any background to know whats going on.
