I really like the basic shape of that 'S', it's very golden age. I just wish they didn't feel the need to cover it with extra lines and textures.
Pass on all the "Man of Steel" stuff. I don't like the look of or the angle. I've never been a fan of the Superman stuff that played up his alien origins and angst. He's Superman, raised by humans and for all intents and purposes a human and doesn't suffer from angst!
John Byrne got it perfectly.
That's SUPERMAN! In my opinion.
Probably the Best incarnation of Superman in comics! John Byrne hit Jackpot!! The Byrne years are absolutely great!
Eh those were all ok for when they came out. As much as I love superman, I never felt real danger when reading his comics. Always enjoyed reading batman more until more and more graphic novels started showing so that's what I started reading more of instead. Dropped monthly comics for a long time until new 52 stuff. I hate Jim Lee and like most hated the new suits. I will not lie, I do not like the Action Comics series it's terrible and I stopped reading after the first 5 issues. However the New52 Superman series totally has my attention. Especially since they started the new story in the latestes issues. I'm actually about to go back and pick up Supergirl and Superboy just too see what I missed in there since they're all connect for the time being. New52 superman while not the best I've read is really go nonetheless. If you're a Superman fan with an opened mind however, I'd highly recommend Superman Earth One. Such great stuff to read and I just finished volume 2 tonight. One of the best Superman graphic novels I've read in a long whileI grew up during the Curt Swan years. Byrne was OK too.
New 52 Superman must go.

yea I agree that "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" was really, really good.Nope, Swan's stuff always felt like a high level outline for a story. His discussions were usually confined to one or two panels. His characters were more static in pose and he didn't do huge splash pages. It was a different era. His tone was more complimentary to kids who grew up on George Reeve's "Adventures of..." on Saturdays.
I enjoyed Byrne's reboot, I was in high school and it worked for me at the time. I think it's a bit dated too by today's standards. I was also struck by Alan Moore's amazing "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story at the end of Swan's run, it was so good I actually felt sad they were moving on.
