I loved it, definitely worlds beyond All-Star Bats. The bizzare sci-fi fantasy of it just blew me away. I think I can smell Grant Morrison's imagination enhancers all the way over here.
Some things should never change. Clark is bumbling, Lois never shuts up, and Lex is pure evil. While there's tons of "classic Superman" elements, the last page shows that this will be no rehash of the silver-age.
The only thing I didn't like was Lois' look. I though she looked too young.

Can't wait to check this out myself. Despite some people not liking him, Grant Morrison is one of the few creators in comics I'd buy close to anything for, i.e. his upcoming WildCats.

Just read it and loved it. Reminded me totally of Chris Reeve's version, the same emotion. Still not sold on Quitely's art though. Never have been. But I'll definitely stick around as long as Morrison is on board writing.

I thought it was groovalicious except for the annoyingly exaggerated builds of the characters. I mean... it's bad enough that Superman's Clark Kent disguise consists of a change of clothes and some glasses, but how can anyone not recognize him considering he's the only other person on the planet with the horribly unnatural build that Superman has?

I liked it as well. The exaggerated science fiction was really good. I've never liked Superman and I gotta say this silver agey setting is the best for him. As for the rest of the DCU? No. Superman should be exaggerated, bright, etc. Morrison has hit the mark and I enjoyed the art.
Would Lois were a skirt that short??? doh!

What did ever think of the Willy Wonka-like philanthropist? I am intruigued by the guy, people on the 'net seemed to think that he's a little over the top.

I thought he was interesting. And very much Willy Wonka-like. Seemed to have the same excitement for the different sciences he was working with as Wonka did for candy.

I loved this comic! More! And it wasn't until I was describing the Rainbow-coated Doctor to a friend that I realised his Wonka-ness... I mentioned the coat and cane and then went, well, he's just like- and my friend and I said it together: Willy Wonka. Hehehehehe. I wonder if the similarity was intentional?

I thought the Willy Wonka guy was a bit over the top. Atleast his costume was...his actual dialogue I didn't have a prob with.
