Heavyweight Champion of the Moon

"Savagely fighting the OTHERWAR!"

I am sitting in a hole-in-the-wall pizzeria having this for lunch and reading a Superboy comic on my phone and Spotify just shuffled up “Original Sin” by Taylor Dane from the soundtrack to “The Shadow” (1994).

No kidding, if an asteroid hit right now, I’d be cool with going out like this.

I have not reread All-Star Superman in years and it’s gotten a lot of hyperbolic praise over the years (including from me) so when I opened it up last night I thought “Man, I hope this is actually as good as I remember” then on literally page one I was like “Oh right this is a perfect comic book.”
