There have been many fine tales told about the Man of Steel, but few would deny that All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely is up there with the very best of them. Published across 12 issues, the out-of-continuity saga attempted to boil the character down to his essentials, giving us a deep and often moving insight into what makes Kal-El/Clark Kent tick. If, somehow, you've never read the book then, for the love of Zod, go and rectify that right now.
Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor is a very different sort of book - and we should offer a spoiler warning here for the full first issue.
