>>89369690
Based anon, in that order?
>>
>>89369860
Pretty much, the first three cover the early years.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and All-Star Superman should be read later because they're enhanced by a deeper understanding of Superman.

The rest of the in-between ones are just various good stories and the order doesn't matter.

Oh, and Superman/Batman is a really great one for both characters.
>>
>>89369860
Not in that order. Too many origins.

Stick to the Johns run (Secret Origin, Last Son, Superman: Brainiac, Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes) for the "core" Supes, and read Kingdom Come, Red Son, FtMWhE, WHttMoT, Secret Identity for the "What IFs".

Then read All-Star Superman and Superman: Beyond.

If you want to read the current on-going it'd be Lois and Clark, DC Universe Rebirth, Superman Rebirth then the numbered issues in order.

The trash bin

>>89373140
OP here, what's wrong with new 52?
>>
Superman has been shit for the past 30 years. Just read Supreme by Alan Moore instead. It was a post crisis Superman relaunch done right. Also get those silver age reprints if you can.

>>89374703
>Golden age

Casual detected. It's much better than more than half the shit in there, especially the ones written by Jurgens and Azzarello.

These plus the rest of the Geoff Johns run.

>>89376029
Alan Moore's stories as well.

>>89376061

Fuck Moore. The last Superman story I wrote of his was complete hack shit "How do I give Superman all Superman's friends an ending they deserve? Oh I'll just kill them all"
