Summary: It all begins here!
Comment: This is the book that started it all. The redefining of Superman and his world by John Byrne. This Superman is not the one you remember reading comics from Golden Age to the 70s. Superman is not treated as a god but as a true human being and Clark Kent is not the clumsy introvert type we remember in the movies. This is the book I would recommend to anyone who wants to start reading on Superman and why shouldn't I? It sets up the cast of characters, friends and villains and setting the tone of stories for future Super stories to come. It even includes a first meeting story between Superman and Batman.

Summary: Byrne Does It Again
Comment: John Byrne's strength as a writer/artist is that he sees clearly to the heart of the character. Here, as he did with the Fantastic Four, he not so much re-invents as clarifies the character. All of the fat and foolishness is stripped away, and new details are added that fit so well that you wonder how the feature went fifty years without them. Byrne is totally respectful of what has come before, and yet makes it all fresh and new. This is truly Superman reborn and reinvigorated. Landmark comics, and also a great "starter" book for the fledgeling comics reader.

Summary: he's just so..superman, it's great
Comment: the past few years superman has been written so poorly, the art has tried to make him more manga or just trying weird styles, people have written superman as everything but superman.
but in this book from 1986 we see superman, simple yet oh so effective, we believe he is superman, you see the man in the superman, the man who loves his parents, they love ihim, a lois who is strong but not the annoying lois we so a lot today.
superman was bogged down by being overpowerful, too alien and not very human, then Byrne come along and give us the human superman, the man who was clark kent first and superman second.
sadly dc comics is changing it back with a superman who is more wrapped up in being an alien, his father is not helping his son create a costume but becoming upset over it.
so if you want the great superman, get this and leave the newest books alone, and i assume the birthright story will become a trade soon, if you see it leave it be and let this be the only origin of supermans you read.
