Quick video checking out the new Absolute Superman by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank.
Experience Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s legendary Superman trilogy like never before. Presented in DC’s prestigious, oversized hardcover format, the Absolute Edition collects the complete Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, Superman: Brainiac, and Superman: Secret Origin, together for the first time! Featuring Action Comics 858-863, 866-870, Superman: Secret Origin 1-6 and stories from Action Comics Annual 10, Superman: New Krypton Special 1, and Action Comics 900, along with character designs by Gary Frank, the Action Comics 858 script by Geoff Johns, an extensive cover gallery, and more!
I'm torn between getting a video out fast or slowing down and amping up the "production" value of each video. Any advice is welcome. Until then, enjoy!
Special shout out to Jess Hollifield for letting me use his book for this video. You rock!

Cannot wait to get a copy. Johns is one of my favorites and Frank's artwork is very Top Notch.

@Martin_TheCollector Geoff John's is, I think, one of comics best writers, because he cares about comics and telling a great story with the characters he loves. Thanks for being here and stay awesome.

Superman is my favorite comic character and I am so happy we are getting all these books this year. I ordered this, the Triangle era omnibus and the exile omnibus reprint. I’m eating well. Up, up and away!

Don't raise the tripod, lower the table. Just joking. Thanks for the preview. I'm ordering this soon. I have most of the issues in singles, but I can't resist Gary Frank in over-sized editions. This one is just gorgeous.

@williamjackson6705 That's awesome, I tried so many lower tables, and I just chalked it up to, I need a better camera. Thanks for the laugh and being here. I've loved Gary Frank so much that I like his Gen13 run that gets a lot of grief. Thanks again for being awesome and fun. Rock on!

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking about getting this, but wasnt sure about thr Absokute format. I really wanted to see if the Legion made the cover. I uktimately decided against it, as i wish it collected more of Johns run. I will probablt get it now though because i love the run and the Legion ive also bought more used Absolutes and it feels more like something I want to commit to

@catkins599 Ай бұрын

@adamcrouch5257 It's got a nice chunk of Legion and anytime John's and Frank are together , I consider it a predetermined hit. Maybe they'll do a complete Legion hardcover. Thanks for being here. Stay awesome!

What was in the back of the book by the black end cover page? It's at the 2:27 mark, you can see it right after you flip through the pages.

How beginner friendly is this? I’ve never read it but been wanting to wait for something goooooood to start with Superman reading

@1297skypred I think this is great book with a perfect beginning middle and end. The art is fantastic and the story told perfectly. Let me know if you read it.

@MadThanos79 Ай бұрын

I'm sure this is a great collection, I remember reading the monthlies, but I believe the actual 'Absolute Superman' is the one by Morrison and Quitely. They should just omit the 'All Star' from that title and that's it.

@catkins599 Ай бұрын

@MadThanos79 I love All Star Superman, great story, art and some great new takes on Superman. Proof that if a creator cares, the book will end up a classic. Good good stuff. Thanks for being here, I really appreciate it.
