Picked this up a few weeks back and read it immediately. It's fantastic. Brings back all sorts of great memories.

Thor 618 for me. WKTF, I'm anxiously awaiting your thoughts.

Really?

I don't think I've ever read it and definately remember passing on it as a kid when the Treasury 1st hit. It just seemed, and still does, like such an celebrity-exploitive team-up. The meshing of reality and the DCU also threw me. What's the deal? and why does it seem to be making a comeback? I've seen the statue. Is it really good? Finally, what the heck is Superman doing fighting Ali? Sure the man was the Greatest but wouldn't Supes' pop his noodle off? I just never "got it".

I missed out on it when I was a kid, but I picked up the new hardcover and really enjoyed it. It fits in well with the many Bronze Age Superman team-up stories they used to have in Action and DC Comics Presents. I would recommend picking it up, but keep in mind that I also like the issue of the Avengers when they appeared on the David Letterman show.

Never read it as a kid and haven't cracked it yet, but seeing as I love the pre-Crisis Superman, this is a must for me. This is just the sort of goofy $#!t Supes was regularly involved in back then. Also, I got it at the used bookstore rather than the comic shop, so for $9, it's worth a read.

I'd read that DC had planned on reprinting it sooner, but they were restricted at the time due to all the celebrities Adams drew on the cover and within the book. Something about changing laws for use of likenesses apparently let them use it again... I dunno. I think it's the 25th anniversary of its publication, which is why they did the statue as well.

It's my ROAR, but I may not get to it until next week with the way my schedule looks this weekend. I'll post a quickie review when I've read it. And I enjoyed those Avengers/Letterman issues too!
