Billions of Microscopic Exploding Suns

I remember the first time they killed Superman well over a decade ago. An alien named doomsday crash lands on earth and beats him to death. The comic was pretty graphic. There was one scene where Doomsday punches Supergirl's face off. There are not any scenes like this in the new story of the death of Superman, All-Star Superman, but I still enjoyed it. There is a more peaceful style and approach to All-Star Superman. In the book, written by Grant Morrison, and drawn by Frank Quitely, Superman is not killed by a monster, but by the source of his Superhuman strength, the sun.  Lex Luther tricks Superman into flying too close to the sun, amplifying his powers significantly and poisoning him at the same time. When Superman is told that he has very little time to live, he embarks on a quest to complete 12 tasks to ensure safety in the universe. There are twelve issues in the series.Some of the issues are really emotional while others are kind of ridiculous.Most of them highlight a single task but some issues have none while others have multiple. It is interesting to see how Superman/Clark Kent interacts with all those that he loves that he is never going to see again. The art and story telling are very similar to Quitely and Morrison's other collaboration, We3. Quitely's unique way of framing is really cool looking. Im not really the greatest Superman fan but I have read some really good Superman stories. Red Sun may be my favorite. Kingdom Come is also spectacular. AllStar is not as good as either of these, but it definitely is a classic Superman story.
