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?

It looks like this is a fairly heavy week of comic releases this week, meaning one thing: there should be a lot of good titles hitting the shelves! A new creative era for the Green Lantern line of books begins with Green Lantern #21, whilst a mystery ends in the pages of Daredevil: End of Days #8!

Grant Morrison takes a one-issue break from his series to allow artist Chris Burnham to take over and tell a tale featuring Batman of Japan!

Was the detour worth it?

After a brief enforced hiatus, I’m back this week, and ready to join my fellow comics contributors Chris (lokiallthefucksigive) and Ryley (ryley-stbatman), as we go through the week’s releases and spotlight our five most anticipated comics from our Pull Lists.

We are faced with that strange 5th week of the month once more, where the releases seem to dry up. Saying that, however, that doesn’t mean there are not some great comics hitting the shelves, as the much anticipated X-Men #1 finally debuts!

So what made our picks this week? Read on to find out…

It all comes down to this. Everything that’s been happening since issue #1 has led up to this point, and the villain behind it all stands revealed.

Did you guess who it was?

The Avengers head to the Savage Land to teach the self-sustaining beings sent by the Gardeners to be more human. Except that, you know, it’s gods and superheroes teaching aliens to be… human.

It appears to be a small week this time round in terms of the quantity of titles out there, but that doesn’t mean that the quality is any lower than usual! “The Secret Origin of Tony Stark” continues in Iron Man #10, whilst the epic “Hell on Earth War” comes to a conclusion in the pages of X-Factor #256!

When this series was first teased, it was being billed as two things; first, the main Marvel NOW! titles coming out of Avengers VS X-Men, and second as Remender’s successor to his incomparable Uncanny X-Force. For the first several issues, I could see that editorial was doing their best to make sure it actually was the premier NOW! title, but now the title is finally feeling like UXF. And it’s doing so in the most amazing of ways.

Ah, Thor - God of Thunder. The series that keeps on giving. I seriously believe that Jason Aaron just fished into my own mind and found out all of my subconscious desires as far as what I never knew I wanted (nay, needed) in a Thor comic, and then Marvel stuck Esad Ribic on interiors because he’s the greatest thing to happen to Thor art since Simonson’s first KRAKOOM! Yeah, this book can still get it.

The next stage of Hickman’s Avengers is moving along at a steady pace, and this issue we see a small crew of heroes set out for a trip to Hong Kong to infiltrate a casino. It’s a fun little single-issue story that includes some notable character work and nice artwork.

We strangely have the start of the aftermath to the final Geoff Johns Green Lantern story, as the first epilogue to “Wrath of the First Lantern” arrives in the pages of Green Lantern Corps #20! If anything, though, it’s business as usual this week, with the next issues of some great titles hitting the shelves; a maybe a new series or two as well!

I think one of the most common questions I get asked from new fans to comics is “What Deadpool comics should I read?” Maybe it’s because the internet community is really where the Merc with a Mouth started to become popular for the current generation, because we all know that 4chan took a liking to him back before X-Men Origins: Wolverine sewed his gab shut.

Even though his popularity has declined in recent years (notable through him no longer having four ongoing titles on the stands), he’s still a subject of interest, and still a character many people simply want to read more of.

I’m going to give you five stories that I think are worth checking out for any Dead-head. They’re not necessarily the BEST, but they’re some of my favorites.

Director: Shane Black
Writer: Shane Black (screenplay), Drew Pearce (screenplay), Stan Lee (comic book), Jack Kirby (comic book), Don Heck (comic book), Larry Lieber (comic book)
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltorw, Don Cheadle, Sir Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, William Sadler, Paul Bettany, James Badge Dale, Jon Favreau, Stephanie Szostak

The end of the beginning could be here! In the pages of Superior Spider-Man, it looked like Peter wasn’t down and out after all — but could Doctor Octopus about to be triumphant once and for all? Superior Spider-Man #9 hits shelves today, along with a lot of other great comics!
