With the release of Man of Steel looming around the corner, it’s about the time that comic fans new and old are turning around to find the best of the best when it comes to Superman stories. Which comics should the new fans read? What stories have old fans overlooked? What stories should they revisit?

Well, we’ve got a Top 5 here to cover those bases. And when I say we, I don’t mean it royally, I mean that I’ve been joined by my comic co-writers Sam and Chris, and each of us will be giving you our Top 5 picks for the best Superman stories, as well as some honorable mentions.

So did your favorite tale of the Man of Tomorrow make the list?

After a short life with numerous affairs, a famous actress, Yuri Furiya, passes away, leaving behind five children with different fathers. This is the heartfelt story of these five coming together to form a family with their own struggles and successes.

Genre(s): Mystery, Shounen

“A group of 15 elite high-school students are gathered at a very special, high-class high school. To graduate from this high school essentially means you’ll succeed in life, but graduating is very difficult. The school is presided over by a bear called Monokuma, and he explains to them that their graduation hinges around committing a murder. The only way to graduate is to kill one of your classmates and get away with it. If the other classmates discover the identity of the killer, the killer is the only one executed. However, if they fail to catch the killer, only the killer graduates and the others are annihilated. Which of the 15 will survive the bloodbath to come?” -Mangahere.com

Thoughts: The manga starts off fairly generic, but if there is anything that I have heard from the ever growing fanbase, is that some crazy stuff happens. Twists galore.

Rejoice! Being smart is useful! 

As I sat in the theater last weekend waiting for my screening of The Purge to begin, the strangest thing happened… Three little children, ranging in age from probably five to eight years old, wandered into the theater. As a responsible and concerned parent myself, I worried that they had mistaken this theater for the one showing Epic, so I began to rise from my seat and direct them back to the lobby, when something even stranger happened… Their father entered and directed them to their seats. Then he left the theater, which just about made me jump out of my seat, but it turned out, he was just headed to the concession stand, as he returned several minutes later with popcorn and goodies. 

Now, I write all of this as someone who accompanied his mother to films like Nightmare on Elm Street 4-6, Pet Sematary & Graveyard Shift, but there is a fundamental difference between the horror films of yesterday and today, which I’ll explore in more detail a bit later. The biggest and most immediate flaw that needs fixing, however, is the ratings system in The United States that allows deadbeat parents to bring their young children to such films, rather than seeking out a babysitter like any responsible parent should. Let’s delve into the history of the ratings system and then discuss further why it’s fundamentally flawed and needs to be revamped sooner rather than later…
