    It's a really terrific week to be a Superman fan. Not only is Man of Steel coming out this Friday (and receiving mostly awesome reviews, too), but Kal-El also has a brand new title coming out tomorrow and two of DC's most talented individuals are behind it: Scott Snyder and Jim Lee. Our very own Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero has already given SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1 a five-star review and said, "This is what I want from a Superman comic." It's seems clear Clark's future is in good hands with that creative team, but we want to reflect on the iconic character's 75 years of history. Naturally, we couldn't flood the poll with every great story, but we narrowed it down to 15 (and an "other" option) we think are pretty superb and definitely must read tales.

    Voting will remain open until Thursday morning (ET) and an updated feature will hit the homepage shortly after. Will Grant Morrison'sALL-STAR SUPERMAN be the obvious pick, or will one of these other excellent stories rise above and take the victory?

    I would voted for All Star but instead I choose "What so funny about truth, justice and the american way?". Reasons were given on the poll board.

    All Star! Birthright second. The onlyone of those I don't own in hardcover or trade is Red Son and I need to remedy that quick. I have read it once and really liked it.

    I never really got Superman & then when I finally got him I wanted a really good Superman story to read. I tried All-Star Superman & liked the art better than the story. Couldn't even finish it. Watched the movie. It was okay. Superman For Tomorrow couldn't finish it. Now I am a tough critic when it comes to film, but I usually finish a run of comics or a graphic novel. Also I read Grant Morrison's newest run on Action Comics. It started out really well & then went nowhere. I was digging it when he was old school with the jeans. I like the guy as person, but I don't about him as a writer. Given I haven't read a lot of his stuff, but a decent amount. I wanna check out Doom Patrol. So in conclusion I still haven't read my favorite Superman story.

    The thing is there are a lot of Superman stories I like, but I can't think of any I outright love.

    I think there are very few people on earth who don't know who superman is and he is so iconic that you either love him or hate him so I believe that every superman story is the best
