This reading elevates what was already a work of monumental unity and beauty to an almost flawless level of perfection. I really cannot think of anything else comparable to its structural harmony and compelling thematic unity in the comics medium. Certainly not in the superhero genre, besides the obvious benchmarks of course. But I think [All Star Superman] reaches beyond even DKR or Watchmen by quite a bit. It’s about as close to flawless as we are likely to see in some time, and this Easter egg opens up an incredible degree of meaning in the story, at least for me.
— Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > All-Star Superman —a very convincing argument about Leo Quintum, which contains significant spoilers for A*S
