6th Place: All-Star Superman #1 with august (in the wake of) dawn Shelfdust Presents: The Fifty Best #1 Issues

This week it's time to pop on the glasses and bumble into trouble, as we look at the comic which ended up in 6th place: All-Star Superman #1 by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant and Phil Balsman.
The comic itself radiates with energy, as Quitely creates some wonderful and magnificent pieces, and every page has at least one line of dialogue which feels lasting and memorable. “Only nothing is impossible” says one of the characters, and that feels like the defining thesis of All-Star Superman as a whole. This week Matt is joined by special guest august (in the wake of) dawn to talk all about it!
Please note this podcast was recorded in 2020, and Grant Morrison's pronouns are they/them.
