Superman: for all seasons & Superman: Kryptonite, are my two favourite sups comics of all time, not a coincidence the art in both came from the magnificent Tim Sale.
That old textbook printing looks incredible! If DC ever reprints Absolute League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, that would be a perfect choice to go with!
First The Batman Adventures Omnibus, now this - Omar just going through my two favorite books of the year in a single day! 🎉 Keep up the amazing work, man! Really appreciate all your efforts.
My most anticipated book release of the year. Wonderful review Omar. The thought and care put into this edition appears so heartfelt. An amazing tribute to Tim Sale.
It's true that I'm a little tender lately, but the way you talk about the book, the picture album, Tim Sale.. I just started to cry. I didn't think that this book was for me, but now I just have to own it. Thank you Omar, for this beautiful and sensitive overview. 😢
I love this book, probably most of all because the book and slipcase remind me of (and have the same texture as) a couple of my high school yearbooks. The build of the book definitely accentuates the wonderful tone of the book, and the fantastic story.
Omar, Great review, I order this Absolute Superman for All Seasons from IST about a week ago. Also get a a room, I see how you are holding that book (the cloth cover is what you find on Library Binding books) ha ha.
I ordered a copy of this a few nights ago. I remember picking up the original TPB from Waldenbooks before they closed here in the early 2000s. Took me several years to actually read it. Then I missed out on the Deluxe Edition, so I figured I should probably grab this one.
One of the first Absolutes I bought was All Star Superman. Hated it, though it was my first Morrison comic. Taking a shot in this one because of how revered it is, I’m stoked to read it, I loved the Loeb/Sale Batman omni.
If you haven’t read it yet, superman for all seasons is a magnificent book, would strongly recommend it to every reader. I’d also strongly recommend, superman: Kryptonite & DC new frontier.
You know, I really enjoy this book's stories... but not enough to buy an absolute edition. If they release a new deluxe edition I'm totally getting one. I'm very excited for the upcoming Superman by Johns and Frank absolute HC though. Just really wish it cost a lot less.
Was gonna pass on this cause I wanted to get away from the many Superman orgin stories. I have the recent Birthright OHC. But you sold me on this review to reread this great story on the best format. Art looks even better (obviously) than the OHC. Sold. Still waiting on the day DC gives Superman: Red Son in Absolute format.
Your review just made me do a 180 on this book. Whenever i think of Loeb/Sale, its always Batman. Sale doesnt seem like the ideal Superman artist, but it looks beautiful. Superman has become more and more boring for me the older I get as I'm tired of the same'ol Superman stuff. But a Clark story, that I can get behind.
Waited for this for a long time. The only thing I really missed was the full color versions of the back covers of the 4 single prestige issues. It did not appear they were full color in this book. They showed a circular picture of Clark under a tree that changed with each season. Had been waiting for that art to be in the oversized collection. Did I miss it?
Is the print quality any better than the standard edition though? Looks amazing. Thanks for the video. Came across this looking for the best superman graphic novels. Love the old films, Smallville and Lois and Clark (90s), which I’m revisiting right now and loving.
I really want this beautiful book but that $131 CAD price is hard to swallow. Hopefully it drops in price. If not I will just have to settle for the Trade Paperback that comes out in October.
Hello neard mint condition, I have a question: Has the current wander woman been restored after the reboot of the new 52, the death metal and the dark crisis, has the current wanderwoman had her virginity restored? Or in each new wanderwoman story or when she comes out, her virginity is restored, that is, Hasn't he disrespected any DC character?
I know its loved by everyone but honestly its not for me, Not a big fan of the artwork atleast not at this price point, when did he draw this cause I loved his art better in When in Rome..
Stopped the video on the first spread page to make a purchase 😂
“Do you ever get tired of looking at that?”
“No. Never have. Guess I never will…”
Superman: for all seasons & Superman: Kryptonite, are my two favourite sups comics of all time, not a coincidence the art in both came from the magnificent Tim Sale.
Blind buy this. Never read the story but I heard so many praises.
That old textbook printing looks incredible!

Thank you so much for the kind words.
My favorite Superman story, and perhaps my favorite comic ever
Mine's on its way to me. Can't wait to re-read it in Absolute format. This is my absolute favorite Superman story.
King and Gerards have in interviews mentioned theyre putting together extra/bonus msterial for their mr miracle absolute.
I just received this. Such a beautifully built absolute!
watching this as i hold mine in my hamds. what a gorgeous book!
Now for Absolute Suoerman Krytonite.
I love this book, probably most of all because the book and slipcase remind me of (and have the same texture as) a couple of my high school yearbooks. The build of the book definitely accentuates the wonderful tone of the book, and the fantastic story.

Love this book, my favorite Superman story and how this book is put together (clothy cover) just works.
I pick superman for all seasons over superman all star all day long.
Beautiful

Nice, got mine today !
I've had this edition for a week now. It's excellent quality.
I just absolutely love that in the mind of Tim Sale, it’s always the 1950’s.
The Superman: Nutmeg part is my favorite
The comic that inspired Smallville!
I ordered this for my birthday, and I have to say it was an amazing purchase
This is one of 3 standard hardcovers I would love to upgrade to absolute. But my budget priority now is omnibus of stories I don’t yet own.
I don’t have any absolutes but this is such a beautiful book, very, very tempted.
I finally opened my copy last and it also has at least two separate pages with a crease going through it. Oh well. 🤷♂
I love this. We need more Superman Omnis and/or compendiums. I’d love to see Superman: birthright in absolute edition.
One of the first Absolutes I bought was All Star Superman. Hated it, though it was my first Morrison comic. Taking a shot in this one because of how revered it is, I’m stoked to read it, I loved the Loeb/Sale Batman omni.
If you haven’t read it yet, superman for all seasons is a magnificent book, would strongly recommend it to every reader.
I’d also strongly recommend, superman: Kryptonite & DC new frontier.
Damn hated it? 😭 i loved it, it just shows how different people have insanely different tastes
Trust me. The second read of All-Star is absolutely amazing. Disliked it the first time I read it too
Oooh, great review! Only wish it was posted earlier while it was still on the deals of the week sale on IST.
Very nice absolute! Thanks for the video, Omar!
Thank you for watching.
You know, I really enjoy this book's stories... but not enough to buy an absolute edition. If they release a new deluxe edition I'm totally getting one. I'm very excited for the upcoming Superman by Johns and Frank absolute HC though. Just really wish it cost a lot less.
Oh that looks gorgeous. Great overview

Is the texture similar to hellboy library covers?
This is WILD! ❤🎉
Your review just made me do a 180 on this book. Whenever i think of Loeb/Sale, its always Batman. Sale doesnt seem like the ideal Superman artist, but it looks beautiful. Superman has become more and more boring for me the older I get as I'm tired of the same'ol Superman stuff. But a Clark story, that I can get behind.

It is. The paper stock really makes the colors pop.
@@NearMintConditionthanks for the reply
How big is this compared to the slipcased swamp thing absolutes? Same size?
I really want this beautiful book but that $131 CAD price is hard to swallow. Hopefully it drops in price. If not I will just have to settle for the Trade Paperback that comes out in October.

Does is lay flat?

Who is Tim Sell?
David Sel’s son. Who wants to know?
*Tim Sale
Amazing comic book artist who sadly passed away last year

That is one fat superman, kind of look like Baymax.
DC should absolutely be ashamed of that spine. So disappointing.
I know its loved by everyone but honestly its not for me, Not a big fan of the artwork atleast not at this price point, when did he draw this cause I loved his art better in When in Rome..
