I read about one graphic novel per year, so I tend to choose rather selectively. There is a new Superman movie coming out this year and I have been watching Smallville, so I thought Superman would be a good subject to delve in to comic book wise.Grant Morrison is the author here, and is, justifiably, reknowned for his storytelling. every aspect of the Superman mythos is explored over the course of 12 episodes. The illustrations are fantastic as well.
