My favourite runs are the original Siegel-Shuster and the Byrne-Superman council one.
As for stories, my favourite are Whats so funny..., All-star,Grounded-Red Son,Earth 1, Peace on Earth out of the top of my head.
>>78570872>Why is he so interesting to some/what makes him more than just "guy who can do everything?"Well, for starters, he can;t do everything as anyone who actually read a superman book can attest to.
And I like him because he has the best morals which, in good recent stories, are faced with the actual shit we have to deal with and how he deals with the dillema, even if he fails and resorts to killing like in the 90s or MoS is interesting. Also, how it shows how important upbringing is. He's not Super for being an alien with superpowers, he's super because of the values thaught to him by hard working righteous parents.
His rivalry with Luthor is also interesting since its the kind of rivalry where you sort of support both sides. Personally, I think humans should estimate ourselves higher than we do, so I can sort of relate to Luthor ( even if, of course, I prefer Superman to win since he's the right one n the end).
And when handled well, he can have good scifi stories.
Him being bro with Batman and not reusing villains as much as other heroes (save for Luthor) are plusses too. Specially since I dont really like most of his usual villain gallery aside from Lex.
