Superman's different. If you'll look at the thread, you'll see that everyone is just repeating the same handful of books again and again. It's a lot easier to read every good Superman story than every good Batman story because there just aren't that many exceptional Superman stories to read, and I imagine a fan of the character would know that and have gone over the best by now.
it's totally awesome. it's an elseworlds series that mixes superman with german expressionist films (specifically, duh, metropolis). there's a batman one and a wonder woman one as well.
Thanks guys for all your responses. I was leaning towards Identity or All Seaons, but hadn't even thought about Birthright. I remember reading the first two issues when it first came out, and it didn't strike me as great.
i agree. the stories start off slow. zombie slow (not the running kind.)
but orchestrates a great adventure halfway through issue 3 to the end

Whoa, I didn't know this exist.
you're just overstating and assuming things

at least I'm not from Nova Scotia
All-Star Superman IS great, but you can enjoy it so much more if you get the character and the lore surrounding it.

...maybe not.
