Comixology Sale on Superman Comics

ComiXology is doing a sale on Superman comics this week, just like they did for Wonder Woman several weeks ago. The sale is only good for today and tomorrow.

Lots of Superman comics available for $0.99. Unfortunately, the site isn't easy to navigate to find a collection of the titles available for that price. I ended up clicking through to the DC Store and found them available there. That also includes the free Superman 101 title, which gives you a grounding on the Man of Steel.

I highly recommend Matt Wagner's Trinity: Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman series. An excellent series, and tough to beat at the price. The Man of Steel by John Byrne is also an excellent series, and was fundamental to the modern-day interpretation of the character. If you are interested in interpretations of the character that stray from the standard DC Universe, but are still excellent reads, then look into Kingdom Come by Ross and Waid, as well as All-Star Superman by Morrison and Quitely.

Myself? One of the things I have never read and always meant to was the critically- and fan-acclaimed Superman: Red Son. An "Elseworlds" tale of Superman's rocket crashing in the Ukraine instead of in Kansas, set in the cold war era. It was written by Mark Millar and has art by Dave Johnson, Kilian Plunkett, Andrew Robinson and Walden Wong. At less than $3 for the series, I have already started enjoying it on my Android phone. So far, so good.

A lot of the stories here are iconic, and you really can't go too far wrong. Not to mention, the first appearances of Superman, Jimmy Olson and Lex Luthor, each for less than a buck.
