Selecting the <\/span>Best Superman Comic<\/span><\/strong> is a nearly impossible task. When <\/span>Jerry Siegel<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>Joe Shuster<\/span><\/strong>‘s character arrived on newsstands in 1938, he altered and dominated the culture. The Last Son of Krypton has populated thousands of comic books, cartoons, and movies. He adorns underwear and bedsheets. Every person on this planet has encountered some version of him and probably has a strong opinion of how he should behave and whether or not the red trunks should be on the outside of his pants.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We’re less than a month away from Superman returning to cinemas. <\/span>James Gunn<\/span><\/strong>‘s new movie promises a Man of Steel unlike any other we’ve seen cinematically while showcasing a grand universe familiar to comic book readers. Considering our adoration of Gunn’s previous filmography, we were sold before we saw a frame, but the latest trailer somehow stoked our excitement to even greater heights. We don’t think we’re alone, and we’re hoping many people stumbling out of the theater on July 11th will be compelled by James Gunn’s vision to find their nearest comic book store.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
With that in mind, we asked twenty-one comic book creators to name the Best Superman Comic for that curious reader eager to extend their newfound Superman fandom. We’ve been building this list for the last six months, gathering blurbs from our podcast guests and artist friends and assembling their picks for your consideration and discussion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We made sure to ask the creators who are currently steering DC’s Summer of Superman: <\/span>Jason Aaron<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Rafa Sandoval<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Dan Slott<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Joshua Williamson<\/span><\/strong>, and <\/span>Mark Waid<\/span><\/strong>. You’ll also find past Kal-El caretakers like <\/span>Phillip Kennedy Johnson<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Tom King<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Grant Morrison<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Gail Simone<\/span><\/strong>, and <\/span>Scott Snyder<\/span><\/strong>. Folks like <\/span>Jadzia Axelrod<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>Nicole Maines<\/span><\/strong> have also flirted with the character and significantly contributed to Big Blue’s supporting cast. Plus, you’ll find a few other surprise guests.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Some titles celebrated below, like\u00a0<\/span><\/span>All-Star Superman<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>, will not surprise you. However, we’re betting several others will. By reading this list, we hope you discover some new Superman comics, and if not, may this article spark internal conversation regarding what you think should belong in a movie lover’s first Superman comic.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
