Brainiac, Last Son and New Krypton makes for a fun read.
James Martin
Dylan Lewis
I guess I should have also included that I've already read WSFATJAW and For the Man Who Has Everything, since those are the others that always get recommended
Hudson Ortiz
Supreme by Alan Moore.
Not a Superman story but still a good read.
Nathan Rivera
Well in that case there's always Superman Adventures, which is based off the animated series and has a few good stories, and Adventures of Superman #15 had this neat story which was a Iron Giant tribute
Michael Green
Michael Lewis
Mark millar Run, Buseik run,Superman and shazam the first thunder, Loeb run and infinite city
Christian Phillips
Time and Time again and the story where he becomes a gladiator on war world
Logan Young

No.
Replace that shit with "Escape from Bizzaro World"
Connor Morris
Up, Up, and Away is excellent.
Juan Nelson
I read this and the beginning parts were really good, but by the end it just turned into another "I have to punch the bad guy really hard" story
Aaron Perez
Anything Jurgens. Particularly from the 90s. Or Byrne.
John Morgan
Escape from Bizarro World, actually pretty much all of Geoff Johns Superman run was great
Nolan Taylor
Johns' Superman run is one of those runs that people say is great, but when you look at the individual stories it doesn't hold up. Secret Origin was just a worse Birthright, Escape from Bizarro World had fun Bizarro moments but overall was just ok, Up Up and Away falls flat towards the end, and New Krypton was just bad.

Cameron Kelly

Carter Ortiz
thanks
Jace Brown
Was storytimed here and became one of my favorites.
Liam Carter
It's my favorite Superman story. Can't really say much about it without spoiling it and the message, but it's very good.
Robert Collins
Final Crisis
Joshua Murphy
It’s not everbodies cup of tea but I think it was a good blend of The Silver and Modern age and had a lot great character moments that were rather heartbreaking
Sebastian Anderson
Superman Beyond: Final Crisis
Logan Fisher
He said good stories, not a spergfest about The Authority
Carson Richardson
Hugely underrated story.
Michael Long
Emperor Joker
Hunter White
Pretty much the entire Geoff Johns run on Action Comics.
Joseph Wood
Yeah, this list sucks.
Kayden Sanchez
>Secret Origin was just a worse Birthright
Birthright is one of the worst Superman stories ever published. There's a reason is wasn't made canon. It's fucking irredeemable trash where Waid was trying to turn Superman into himself and project his own ideals onto the character. No story has ever missed the point of Superman more than that shit pile.
Henry Bennett
The fact that Johns is the best Superman has to offer says a lot
Gabriel Rivera
How do you see this? I'm no Waid fan, but I found Birthright really enjoyable and quite moving, in the end.
Lincoln Russell
I know you say no elseworlds, but the Smallville Season 11 is fantastic.
Jace Gonzalez
The fucking problem is that OP says "no origins" and "no out of continuity stories". That eliminates half the fucking Superman stories ever.
And Geoff Johns is a solid writer. Eat shit, faggot.
Kevin Peterson
>I haven't actually read any in continuity Superman stories but I feel my opinions are so valuable I should just spew them anyways
Seriously just fuck off. Read some comics, then come back.
Tyler White
Anything by Otto Binder or Elliot S! Maggin, anything with Curt Swan on pencils.
Grayson Edwards
Escape from Bizarro World is great, I agree about everything else though
Luis Gonzalez
No it doesn't there have literally been ~1600 issues in continuity that aren't origins between Superman and Action Comics alone. I'm far from an anti-johnsfag but he's far from the best the title has had. He's not even the best in this century, wouldn't even put him in the top 3.
Christopher Wright
I've read "For Tomorrow." It was pretty, but trash. I've read at least part of JMS's Grounded. It was ALSO trash, and stole its good moments from Morrison's All Star. I've read Men of Tomorrow - that was fun, but nothing super deep, and n52 continuity was really painful. I read Lois and Clark (the Jurgens/Weeks miniseries leading to the Rebirth series). It was fun, great art, but didn't really do much more than kill time until Rebirth. I've read a good chunk of Rebirth Superman. It's comfy, but not much more (except when Gleason is drawing, then it's also really pretty.)
Easton King
Superman and the Legion of Superheros by Johns is goat.
Lincoln Torres
The Power Within by Roger Stern and Curt Swan
Parker Morgan
Okay so you've read a tiny bit of trash. Go read some Binder.
