Haven`t read one for a couple of years now, and quite fancy buying one (feeling inspired to do so after Superman Returns). Can anyone recommend anything? Wouldn`t mind reading another Superman one if anyone knows of any good `uns?
So, what should I be looking to buy?
Giggity giggity!

I`ve quite fancied picking up a decent 2000AD-style book, any decent books out there on the following?
Judge Dredd Rogue Trooper ABC Warriors

Otherwise try Cerebus The Aadvaark - started out as a conan rip off but started getting serious. Very Funny.
Bone - A mish mash of Looney Tunes and Lord of the rings - who said comics could,t be funny.
Watchmen - Ultimate GN. Old but still worth it.

Used to love ABC Warriors. Do they still appear in 2000AD?
Cheers for the help guys. Had been looking on Amazon.co.uk yesterday - Superman Birthright sounded okay, but I`ll check out your recommendations today.
Giggity giggity!
