All-Star Superman Virtual Comic Book
Frequent readers of my pixels know how much I love the original All Star Superman comics, calling it "quite possibly the finest Superman tale of all time." My biggest complaint about this DVD/Blu Ray set is that NONE of the special features are available on the DVD disc. Sucks for those of us that don’t have a Blu Ray.
