When it comes to canon stories, who had the best run on superman comics?

Scott Snyder

Well, Grant Morrison had him win the concept of death and darkness by singing... so not him.

Grant Morrison

Grant Morrison and Mark Waid.

yup. this exactly. hopefully they write him again.

Amen to that.

When did they work on him together? And did Grant write an other cannon superman story outside of New 52?

What counts as a canon story? He gets retconned all the time lol.

Either way I loved Mark Waid's Birthright.

grant wrote Allstar Superman and Waid wrote birthright. The two best Superman stories ever written imo

Grant Morrison and Joe Kelly. I love Waid's Superman but Kelly wrote some truly brillaint, character defining arcs on Superman during his Action Comics run. I love how he depicts Superman in his writing which is strange given Kelly's penchant for writing darker and grittier stories.

Oh...well I already read those here I'm looking for the best canon stories superman writer.

@lvenger@allstarsuperman@deaditegonzo@ultimatesmfan

@sog7dc: I still say Joe Kelly fits the bill perfectly. Best canon Superman writer IMO.

does he have an extended run? i only know about Action comics 775

Grant Morrisson

@2cool4fun: Geoff Johns run is pretty good for what I have read.

Superman Brainiac is one of my favorites

Secret Origin has the definitive look for Supes, IMO

Superman and the Legion of Superheroes is also a good read.

Yep Action Comics 760-810.

@sog7dc: Joe Kelly for sure, i was a fan Geoff John's run as well and please don't curse me(im already doing that to myself) but i just read up up and away! today and oh my God!!! how could i have gone so long without reading that...i feel so ashamed.

i havent read it either. im currently collecting dan jurgens Superman run, which is 150 issues...so yeah lol. and i have John Byrne's and im just reading through it now.

@ultimatesmfan: It was a joint effort with Kurt Busiek so I suppose Busiek should get half the acclaim technically but still it's clear where Johns' influence comes in and how well he understands and writes Superman.

@lvenger: Lobdell

All Star Superman is my ideal take on the character, so I'll go with Grant Morrison.

Johns had success with Brainiac and Last Son. Waid wrote my absolute favourite Superman story. Alone Moore killed it with Superman on several occasions. Grant Morrison did great work in both pre and post New 52.

I'm expecting Pak to rake in the top spot quickly.

1. John Byrne
2. Geoff Johns
3. Mark Waid
4. Mark Millar
5. Allen Moore
