[@themartiancomichunter]

Great recommendations! These are amongst my favorite Superman stories… Up up and away is good along with Geoff John’s Braniac! Fantastic list 🫶🏻

[@howlermouse]

John's Braniac story was indeed well done!! 👌

Hya Tim. Speeding Bullets, yes, certainly one of my all time faves.

[@howlermouse]

Good to see you, Hippy! I left Speeding Bullets out for a re read tonight ! It's a classic !

Great list. Those Alan Moore stories were my favorite, particularly the two-parter he wrote just before the Byrne-led reboot.

[@howlermouse]

Thanks! I bought that two-party off the racks, and I've never gotten tired of reading it.

Great video Tim! I’m gonna read some of these as 60% of them are new to me. I would personally add Red Son & New Krypton through War of Superman as well. 👍 great job

Goo day, Tim. Wonderful new additions to the best Superman stories.

[@howlermouse]

Thank you! Appreciate it, Gore!

Every time I watch your videos I end up buying something. During your last video, I ordered the first two books of Leave it to Chance, which I'm surprised I don't already own and have never read since I'm a huge fan of Paul Smith and James Robinson (loved The Golden Age and all of their other individual comics especially Starman by Robinson and Paul Smith's X-Men and Dr Strange). Those two books are on their way. This time I got the Superman Panic in the Sky trade, although I do own those single issues, just didn't know there was a collected edition. I'm a huge Roger Stern fan too. He's up there with Alan Moore as one of my favorite writers ever. I own and have read and love all the other Superman stories you cover in this, especially the Alan Moore and John Byrne stuff which is where I really got into Superman hack in the 80s. As a kid I had several 70s Superman comics including the one you showed in this video with the photo background and Superman grabbing the whited out figure on horseback. Don't remember anything about that issue but the cover is burned into my brain. Anyway, I grew up reading some Superman comics but was always more of a Marvel kid with Spider-Man, Avengers. and Captain America being favorires, but in the 80s, all the great Superman comics, Legion of Superheroes and New Teen Titans, as well as stuff like Watchmen, made me fully come around to DC. I would argue that DC had the better comics overall in the 90s as well. Great video and recommendations. I fully agree with all your picks.

Anything I recommend I always caution people to sample it on the cheap first. A buddy of mine didn't like Alan Moores Supreme that I recommend and I've never recovered lol

[@ShaneMatlock]

@howlermouse Not sure how anyone wouldn't like Alan Moore's Supreme. Maybe if they hated 60s Superman, but otherwise it's some fantasticly creative pastiche which he further explored in Tom Strong with Chris Sprouse still on art. I absolutely loved his Supreme. I have the single issues and the Checkers thick trades which sadly weren't great scans and might be the last time it's ever collected since Rob Liefeld sold the character and Andrew Rev ended up with the rights who also bought Elementals and has done basically nothing good with it since. First volume of Leave it to Chance arrived today. About to dive in.

Very cool! I never heard of that Distant Fires book. It looks very nice, I might have to hunt it down.

[@howlermouse]

I found both of mine the the dollar bins. May your hunt be bountiful

[@MaxP_88]

Birtright by Mark Waid is absolutely amazing

[@howlermouse]

I respect that but it was rather first thng I ever read from Waid I didn't like.
