Where is a good place for me to start reading Superman comics?
I am quite new to comics, and the only knowledge of Superman I have is from watching Smallville (technically not Superman yet). So where should I start? Preferably a point in the Superman universe where you only need minimal knowledge of any past events.
Thanks in advance.
I would start with The Death and Return of Superman, it’s three trade paperback collections.
Death of Superman
Funeral for a Friend
Return of Superman
Just don’t expect to see Chloe in them, she was created for the show.
” The Trinity ” Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
