Another great, modern Superman story that also shows how interesting this character can be even without the standard tropes.The following group get mentioned in nearly every fans’ best-of list.Answering the question of “Has the idea of Superman become outdated”? I’ve read so many great issues and seen so many awesome covers, it’s hard to keep up! Olivier Coipel has well and truly knocked it out of the park with this one. The reason it’s harrowing is that there are several BRUTAL deaths within the comic, which you just don’t expect. Not THAT death of Superman. It’s brilliant, powerful and beautiful at the same time. Of course, this was not actually the end of Superman but they advertised it as the last issues … Get the tie-ins to get more of that Superman slant to the story.Penciled by the legendary Curt Swan, this fun Silver Age story has an interesting take on Superman’s adoptive father, Jonathan Kent, who in the Silver Age had died early on.The answer to the question as to why a simple pair of glasses keeps people from recognizing Clark Kent as Superman!The first appearance of the most iconic superhero, not to mention the most valuable comic book ever.Talk about being “Meta”. Get the tie-ins to get more of that Superman slant to the story. As bizarre as this series was, and especially this book, it was thoroughly entertaining!

It’s as if the issues in this list got jumbled and spawned one story.The Death of Superman was not a new concept during the highly publicized event in the ’90s. A look at Superman’s earliest days.Another often employed plot of having Superman go on trial. It is, however, only partially a Superman story. Superman is known across the globe as a comic book icon, pop culture mainstay, and a beacon of courage and hope. Perfectly sums up Superman in an efficient two-part story.This stand-alone out-of-canon miniseries is for many the perfect representation of Superman. Even if I did sometimes think to myself “what on Earth?!”. Another modern classic.While not exclusively a Superman story, his role is extremely important in the story, and does capture the best ideas of Superman.
