Issue description
DC launches the newest addition to its All Star line of comics — where the
industry’s top creative talents refine the iconic focus of the world’s greatest super-heroes.
Writer Grant Morrison (JLA, SEVEN SOLDIERS) and artist Frank Quitely (THE
AUTHORITY,
New X-Men) — the acclaimed team behind JLA: EARTH 2 — are at it once again, this
time to strip down the Man of Steel to his timeless, essential elements.
The series kicks off with a 12-issue story arc touching on all the classic aspects of the Superman mythology, starting with a daring rescue of a doomed group of helionauts on the surface of the sun. The massive amounts of solar radiation affect Superman in a way no one could possibly anticipate — except Lex Luthor!
