What are the best Post-Crisis Superman runs? I really only started reading in the middle of the New 52 and aside from a handful of trades I'm very unfamiliar with a lot of Superman's early stories. The Rebirth stuff has gotten me interested in finally making time to read the older stuff, so I'm curious what author runs were the best and must-read?
I did find a fuckhuge chronology torrent covering from CoIE up through Convergence, but the way they compile it chronologically is jarring. It jumps from World of Krypton/Man of Steel to two parts of For All Seasons then back to Man of Steel then some stuff from 2002ish. I ended up just grabbing the MTCDC Superman torrent and plan to start with Byrne's run and go from there.

Just start with Byrne and then follow up with Wolfman/Jurgens/Stern etc. until you get bored. Up until Superman's death, most of those comics were okay to good quality. Here is a good reading order:

There is a bit of 'jumping', but not too much.
Keep in mind that from the Death till about Our World's at War were the triangle years, so every Superman title was interconnected. That era wasn't particularly great, but it makes for good binge-reading.
From later Kelly's and Casey's runs are cool, and then Busiek/Johns were GOAT. The New Krypton and Grounded era is pretty bad tho.

Virtually everything in that image is from Dan Jurgens' run on Superman, which is something like #58-150.
But it builds upon John Byrne's run, which starts with The Man of Steel #1-6 and goes into Superman #1 and on.

Alright so it sounds like pretty much what I was planning. Just starting with Byrne and reading through the end of the 80s and early 90s. I'll grab the other interconnected issues too and just read until I get bored. I've done something similar with Flash before, read all of the main Flash titles through from #1. Might just ended up doing the same for Superman, though it seems like there is even more to read.

The Black Ring run by Cornell was under-rated though. But it was a good Lex story. Reign of Doomsdays was utter shit and I'm glad that the collection for Black Ring had 0 of that crap crossover in it's collection.

Damn, I remember when I did the same with Flash
It was consistently entertaining thru Loebs/Waid/Morrison/Johns
What a great run of stories

Did it with GL too and it was a ton of fun. Teen Titans to for the most part.
