People who thinks that Superman is boring, has never read a good Superman comic.

This video was definitely needed. It's for the people who are negative and close-minded toward the character as well as for those who don't understand the character of Superman who want to learn more about him. I'm glad WatchMojo showed appreciation for Superman.

These stories prove that Superman is a complex and interesting character and also shows why is and always be a hero that we can all aspire to be.

Must-Reads: All-Star Superman Kingdom Come Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? For the Man Who Has Everything Superman: Brainiac Red Son Death of Superman Birthright For All Seasons What's so Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way

I'm surprised that they didn't use Superman: What's so funny about truth, justice and the American way.

Literally the greatest superhero ever created

prepare for the "Superman is the worst/most overrated superhero" comments >_>

Finally some love for superman. He is he most complicated and interesting comic book character. Stupid people can't understand him.

Superman is the greatest superhero ever and I don't care if anyone tells me that he's not interesting because they obviously don't know anything about the character good list by the way

All-Star Superman is the best Superman story and one of best comocs ever in my opinion.

MOS was such an underrated & unfairly bashed film in 2013.For me, between IM3/Thor/MOS, MOS was the better of the two. I actually enjoyed it & understood more of the plot upon rewatch One has a horrendous disappointing plot twist that i was about to walk out literally (idc abt one-shot mandarin) u fked up & wasted ben kingsley"s talent in the film. Another is having an underwhelming undeveloped villain like malekeith trying to end the world with convergence event to consume the universe altogether & the avengers are unpresent or busy at such a pivotal time & taking a subway train rain,yeah.....wtf. Just send two fight jets to stop him,lel.. Else,A Bunch of renegade Kryptonian insurgent forces trying to terraform the planet and a general who though he lose everything & tries to force Superman to kill him & succeeded. Think i pick MOS ,sure its a flawed movie,so does any other Marvel films to date. BVS? i hope it it does well, ppl are still bitching abt recent new trailer.

All of these are awesome superman stories. Doesn't matter how you rank them imo.

Kingdom come should be way higher on the list.

I'm very fond of the number 4 pick! ^_-

My favorite Superman comics are: 1 All star Superman 2 kingdom come 3 Superman red son 4 Superman birthright 5 Superman peace on earth 6 Superman earth one 7 superman secret identity 8 Superman up up and away 9 Superman birthright John Byrne 10 Superman last son of Krypton

Here are my reading suggestions if anyone would like to get into Superman comics. 1. Superman & the League of Superheroes 2. Superman: Secret Identity 3. Superman: Peace on Earth 4. Superman: Last Son of Krypton 5. Superman: Red Son 6. Superman: Brainiac 7. Lex Luthor: Man of Steel 8. Superman: Doomed 9. Superman: New Krypton 10. Superman: Up, Up and Away 11. Superman: War of the Supermen 12. Superman: For the Man Who has everything 13. Superman: Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow 14. Superman: Ending Battle 15. Superman Versus Darkseid: Apocalypse Now 16. The Death of Superman 17. Superman: Secret Origin 18. Superman: What's Funny about Truth, Justice, and the American way 19. Superman: For All Seasons 20. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies 21. Superman/Batman, Vol. 2: Supergirl 22. Superman: The Men of Tomorrow 23. Superman: Unchained 24. Kingdom Come 25. All-Star Superman

This is a great list of Superman stories. However, I really loved *What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, And The American Way.*

I've only read 2 Superman comics so far. Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow (which is a great title btw), and Red Son. They were both amazing comics. Next on my list is Superman Birthright, and What's So Funny About Truth Justice And The American Way? I used to hate Superman because of his OP powers, but he's starting to become one of my favorite superheroes. His stories are just great.

"Who would win in a fight? Superman or Goku" Weebs- Goku would CRUSH SUPERMAN, HIS THE STRONGEST CHARACTER"( Knows nothing about superman) Superman wins Webbs- Superman is overpowered and a boring character

Birthright, Injustice and Secret Origin should've been on that list..

I really loved Kingdom Come. That's such a great story. I never heard of the Man of Tomorrow till now, so I'll keep my eyes open for it. You never mentioned that Superman's appearance in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, was so great and iconic, but he was a guest star in that story so it's forgiven. Thanks so much for sharing WatchMojo.

Why All-Star Superman is not the first??? It's freaking masterpiece!

He's my favorite hero. Superman: For the Man Who has everything and Superman: Red Son!

Kingdom Come at 7?! wtf?

Awesome, really glad you decided to do this WatchMojo. Superman's my favorite superhero and it's good to give people some excellent comics that show how compelling of a character Superman really is. keep up the good work and I hope you do the same type of list for other heroes

The greatest Superman actor is Christopher Reeve. Henry Cavill, George Reeves, Tom Welling, Tim Daly and George Newbern are still great though.

All Star Superman is really all you need. Grant shows you how and who Superman really is. How he loves his parents and how important they are to him. His love for Lois Lane. How he will help everyone before himself. The love and respect he has for all of life. The top three are better what if stories about Superman and good stories, but if you want the story of who and what Superman is all about then All Star Superman is the one.

HOLY SHIT!!! PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GET SUPERMAN. PEOPLE WHO HAVE PATIENCE AND TOLERANCE FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE KIND COMPASSIONATE HEARTS!!! INSTEAD OF SAYING THEY SUCK, BORING, SOFT, AND LAME AND FAVORING CHARACTERS WHO HAVE BADASS/DOUCHEBAG MENTALITIES, THEY SEE IT TAKES GREAT LEVELS OF INNER STRENGTH OF HAVE A KIND HEART & SOUL WHILE POSSESSING IMMENSE POWER!!!

'What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?' really should have been somewhere on this list.

"What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" showcases Superman perfectly. It show why he does what he does and why it is so important. It points exactly to why he is different from other heroes and why he needs to hold himself to the standard that he does. Honestly, it should be the first thing anyone working on Superman should be required to read because it show the essence of Superman. Something that has been sorely lacking from him in much of the media for quite a while.

Boring my ass. SUPERMAN IS AWESOME!!!

superman has some great stories its funny when people say he doesn't

I love Superman, his storys makes me maintain the hope in life, i like Batman too like everyone else, but Superman deserves more love, not all the hate he is taking recently from the batdefenders :(

this list is gonna have to be redone after Superman American Alien is finished.

I love goku and superman why can't people just admit that their both great characters

Personally, I think 2018 has been a good year for "Superman" because it's his 80th anniversary. Cheers!

Before Injustice and Marvel: Civil War There was Kingdom Come My favorite Superman comic, the first DC comic i read

Superman is one of the most intresting comicbook carachters, his so much more than what people think, hr could be more than a hero/reporter but that's what he wants. plus he's the first "superhero"

Good list but as a life long superman geek I'd like to make a few suggestions for those of you who want to give the character a shot: 1. The world of new krypton 12 part by Robenson and Rucka....the best superman story I've ever read 2. Action 775 by joe kelley, IMO it is superior to kingdom come while being thematically similar. 3. superman 418 by cary bates and 247 by maggin. Both address the 'give them a fish? or teach them how to fish?' theme that red son aptly touched on. 4. superman adventures 19; in this story CK saves hundreds of lives.....without lifting a finger! Best CK story ever written IMO. 5. Hitman 34 by Garth Enis who isn't known for his love of mainstream characters like superman but in this comic he highlights the poignancy of superman's immigrant nature to perfection. 6. Action comics annual #3 by Roger stern. What if superman became the president of the united states? well this comic answers question quite nicely. 7. Adventures of superman 592 by joe casey. A fine, politically charged superman story done to perfection. 8. Man of steel 123 by Geoff jones, which highlights superman's emotional vulnerability and it's stark contrast to superman physical invulnerability. There are actually alot more I can list but this will have to do for now.

I'm early, I should make a joke..............................................................................................................knock knock? Who's there? Not Batman's parents.

Anyone who is interested in Superman should definitely watch the show Smallville. It is all about Superman’s origins and is my favorite show of all time

I love Superman so I'M CHECKING THESE OUT!

I'm truly surprised that Superman: Birthright only received an honorable mention.

Do more Top Ten Comics You Should Read for different characters and in general! As a collecter of graphic novels and comics, there are times I do not know which stories to read, but this list has at least 4 books I havent read and one I need to buy again. Thanks for this video though!

Not a big fan of the character of Superman, but he's got some terrific comic books

People need to see that superman's greatest power and weakness is his heart. Strength via Heart to not be evil and be pissed at his haters, and not kill. Weakness: heart not to kill.

Can't think of better than this list! Especially the Moore books and Kingdom Come.

I like the way Superman looks in Kingdom Comes with the with white in his hair looks wise and like a real leader.

Needed to save a spot for "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way."

Superman, such a great character.

Superman for All Seasons deserves to make the top 10. It’s my personal favorite for being grounded locally and set in Superman’s true origin: the Art Deco 1930’s.

in my opinion Superman:for tomorrow was the best comic i have ever read in my life

An excellent collection of excellent Superman stories.

Superman up up and away is one of my favorites

All-Star Superman was a fantastic read. A great "What-If" story that's both fun and emotional, especially towards the end. I really wish they did sequel to the story, seeing that the story ends on such a cliffhanger. I have yet to read "Red Son", I have the book, but I haven't read it yet. But it's premise has some great potential.

I liked Superman: America, War of The Supermen, The Doomsday Wars, and The Return of Superman as well

Superman: Secret Origin, Superman: What's so funny about truth, justice and the American way? Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

I love these vids keep up the great work WM

Superman Unchained by Scott Snyder is awesome

although I'm not a huge supe fan (kinda gave up on him as a teen), this is pretty cool. keep em coming. thanks mojo...

A good WatchMojo video in a long time.

There are much better stories than having to put his origin on this lit so many times. I personally like "All Seasons" and "Brainiac" better than allot of these. Public Enemies is what should be the ground work for a Superman / Batman movie and not the "Dark Knight: Returns". I think something New 52 like "Doomed" could have gotten an Honorable mention.I personally prefer "What Lies Beneath" for a New 52 arc, but no one ever talks about it. I'm also not crazy about Superman: Red Son. Some of the alterations are more distracting to me than adding to the story.

For me, All-Star Superman will always be #1, but this was a great list none the less.

This is Travis benedini big fan of Superman I'm his number one fan

s someone who is new to comic books thank you for this video.

Still loved Superman: Unchained more than most of these.

wait death of superman higher than all star superman?

0:31 what superman comic/graphic novel is this from? The art looks amazing.

One I always remember as a kid is 'Superman vs Spider-Man', (1976) It's a bit cornball in spots but it's still a fun little read. One other Superman story that really deserves some notice is Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) and Steve Rude's three issue Superman/Batman series from the late 1980's 'World's Finest' in which both Supes & Bats somewhat reluctantly team up to put a stop to Lex Luthor & The Joker's evil alliance. Well worth a read for anyone who loves Batman & Superman as characters.

Watchmojo should make a top ten X-Men comics you should read for their next top ten comics list.

Read Superman Adventures. The whole thing. All of it. It's my favorite Superman series of all time.

Any Recommendation like this for The Flash? reading New52 for now

I've read all of them. :D

It'd be nice to do a list on supermans specific feats like "that time he bench pressed the weight of earth for 5 days" or "when he held a black hole in his hand"

Is'nt kinda difficult to get a hold of some of these stories (in print/trades)?

Please do top ten comic books for first time comic book readers!

I LOVE Red Son, that is a personal favorite comic of mine, dear god that story is fantastic

LOVE SUPERMAN! Thanks, WatchMojo! :D

I would have to say my most favorite Superman Comics were Kingdom Come, All Star Superman, and Injustice.

I like Superman Last Son of Krypton made by Geoff Johns and I believe the director of Man of Steel. In that story instead of Superman fights with zod over the will of an individual instead of planet and had some emotional moments.

Please Watchmojo do more of this with other comic characters.

I'd like to see a Top 10 list for Transformers comics. Are there any videos like that in the works?

I'm glad they didn't put in DARK KNIGHT RETURNS or other "Superman" story that's actually another character's vehicle.

Personally, i think All Star Superman should have been number one; it was the best written, best drawn and can be picked up and read by anyone, fan or new comer.

Superman: Brainiac is an awesome storyline and what about New Krypton or Return of Superman or even War of the Superman

The Nail mini series, it's basically about how important he was in superheroes being accepted. So even though he only appears in the last few pages it really defines his place in the DC world.

My favorite Superman comics in no particular order:Volume 3 of Superman: Earth One, The Death of Superman Trilogy, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow," "Up, Up, and Away," "Last Son," "Birthright," and "The Men of Tomorrow" (A New 52 story arc!)

one of the best Superman stories didn't even come from a Superman comic, it was in Hitman #34 written by Garth Ennis a story that actually won a Eisner Award it's just Superman having a conversation with a regular guy talking about dealing with failure and living up to the ideal of being Superman, it's such a perfect encapsulation of his character

It was going to be either Alan Moore's for the man who had everything or what ever happened to the man of tomorrow

AllStar, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow (Action Comics 775), Man for all Seasons and For the Man Who Has Everything are his all time bests. Kingdom Come is also as good, but it is more of a crossover than an individually Superman story-even if it’s a much better depiction of old Supes and Bats than we see in The Dark Knight Returns.

I would pay top dollar to have Alan Moore's "Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" turned into an animated movie.

Thank you for doing this list,but Grant Morrisons "ALL-Star Superman" deserved the first position

1.Superman: up up and away 2.Superman: American alien 3.Superman:the man of steel 4.All star Superman

splicing in scenes from the movies will get people to read more for sure!!

Thank you for my spooling the story bet by brat like you did with Batman and Spider-Man.

As someone who never saw the modern Superman movies, I just realized that Superman is now Atom. WOW. Mindblow.

read lex luther - men of steel < the artwork and the story is great and one of the best incarnations of lex luthor.
