This is particularly apparent during the finale issue, why favourite of the 12. One having earnt greatness through their strength whilst, the other blinded by their own envy to see their strength to achieve greatness themselves.

It’s essentially a ballad between the resolves of two powerful people. This reflects his actions and motivation as Superman’s well known antithesis. We, as the reader, gain an insight into why Luthor hates the Man of Steel. Lex Luthor’s character arc parallels Superman but yet maintains a juxtaposition between both characters. When confronted by evil, he chooses to show compassion and see the best in people as opposed to Luthor who only sees the worst. He only wishes for peace and to adhere to “simply doing the right thing”, no matter what challenges he faces. We see Superman show compassion, mental resolve and purity.

All this while continuing to remain true to himself and his ideals he stands for. Whether that’s solidifying his relationship with Lois Lane by giving her a life she always wanted to settling his final confrontation with Lex Luthor. It’s one of those rare stories where the Superhero demonstrates that their powers are secondary and their actions and choices are first.Īll Star Superman portrays it-self as Superman’s final chapter as throughout each page he is essentially ending his own story on his terms. I normally give a rating out of 5 stars but, this is a rare case where I had to give it 6! This is probably one of my all-time favourite comics book stories of all time.
