And last, but not least, Marc Singer on All Star Superman #12:

Morrison and Quitely have accomplished something that many comics creators and fans thought impossible:  they’ve found a way to tell stories about Superman that feel fresh and energetic after seventy years of the neverending battle.  Yes, they amplify the menaces, but that’s just the window-dressing…. The physical challenges are never a problem for the man of tomorrow….  The emotional challenges–to atone with his fathers, to be with the woman he loves, to confront his own mortality, to inspire our compassion and courage and hope–those are the tough battles, those are what really matter, and Morrison knows it.  His real coup is not just making Superman interesting again, but showing us why it matters that we still come up with new stories about him.  Because even if he were perfect, we can always be better.
