Not everyone here has read that, so you might want to put spoiler tags around your post.

Dammit.

Are these titles recommended?

1.) Death Of, World Without A, Return Of Superman
2.) The novelization of above by Roger Stern
3.) All volumes of Byrne's Man of Steel series

 

[Spike_x1]

1) Yes.
2) Not necessarily, unless you're a diehard fan of those storylines. If you have #1, you don't need #2.
3) Yes, definitely.

Secret Identity and Sacrafice are my favorites.
Secret Identity is possibly my favorite story ever.

 

[Ben Urich]

I find Byrne's Man of Steel stuff to be just unreadable. I gave mine away; it seemed wrong to take money from someone for them.
Absolute trash.

I would have taken them for free ...you're so inconsiderate

Showcase Presents Superman Vols 1 & 2
Superman: The Man of Steel (quinessential)
The Death of Superman
World Without a Superman
The Return of Superman
Superman Birthright
Supreman/Batman: Supergirl
Kingdom Come

 

[Liquid Spider]

Kingdome Come

Birthright - (Would have taken something similar to this other than the cinematic film we got..)

The entire Death and Return saga...My favorite to date.

And just for kicks and giggles, the one where he changed into the Blue Electric suit. I dont remember the name, and it's locked up somewhere in my garage but I love how seriously it was taken. Especially on the back.."Forget Everything You Knew About Superman" ...lol...

Hey everyone I am pretty new to the boards but have been using this site for superhero news for a while. Like the creator of this topic, I am mostly a batman comic fan, but now I want to expand and start reading some superman comics.

I was curious if there were any good Superman Graphic Novels that featured Darkseid as the main villain.

Superman/Batman: Supergirl is pretty good. Not great. Great climactic fight betwixt Supes and Big D.

 

[GNR]

Red Son
Kingdom Come
For All Seasons

I'm also going to add Birthright.I finished this a while back.Despite the dragged out flashback scenes in the middle,it's great for anyone new to Superman.It touches on what would drive a man to put on a suit and try to make a difference.

As I said,the flashback was the only thing that irked me.

 

[nipsy]

Red Son (best Elseworlds title)
Birthright (Best origin story)
Death of....
Kingdom Come
Secret Identity

 

[GNR]

It does kinda drag in that part.

I disagree.What drags is the flashback of him and Lex as kids.

 

[J. Stooge]

I have Death of Superman and plan to get World Without A Superman and Return of Superman soon.
I've also got Birthright, Sacrifice and For Tomorrow (vol. 1 at the moment with vol. 2 on its way) as well as the first issue of Secret Identity (the other three are in my pull box). I'll be getting For All Seasons and Kingdom Come as well.


Can anyone tell me if Godfall is any good?

 

[Gaurav Sharma]

Hi, I love to read the Elseworlds' stories and I found Superman's Superstar really good and the Darksied too was brilliant. Unfortunately, it isn't easy to find comics here in my country and therefore I am only able to read what's available through the net. Anyway, I have some confusion that I hope the fellow forummers be able to dispel. Well, Could someone please tell me what are Graphic Novels? I know that the DKR series and Kingdom Come are called Graphic Novels, but why is that, has it got something to do with the number of pages, special editions or is it somthing else. Please help.

It drags in that part too.
