Suggestions for a first timer I'm in the mood to read Superman stories. I never got deep into the mythology, although I'm fairly familiar with the Superman universe. I just don't know a good place to start reading proper.
I've been a comic book fan my entire life. Entire. Life. #1 is and always will be Batman because it means so much to my everyday life. Dark, brooding mythology about dealing with trauma. Year One, Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke, The Man Who Laughs, The Long Halloween, Hush, have all stuck deep in my psyche since i first read them. I used to read Spider-Man when I was growing up, but not hardcore. I can only think of The Death of Gwen Stacy in terms of stories that stuck emotionally.
I'm not just into superhero books either. I like anything that is well crafted.
