My friend suggested I check out some Supes trades since I like Action Comics and Superboy's reboots so much.

He suggested What Happened to the Man of Tomorrow and All Star Superman.

I don't like either one. They're so cheesy and hokey and I don't get the appeal. Maybe this is because I grew up on Marvel, but I just can't get behind superheroes being taken down by toy robots.

Clark Kent's identity is exposed when a bunch of toy superman dolls come alive and blast him. It's such an utterly ridiculous and stupid thing in my opinion, and it's hard for me to take seriously.

I just don't the appeal of fighting enemies called Brainiac and giant robots and aliens. I guess it depends on the context, but in this case it feels like giant orgy of randomness.

Is post-Crisis Superman better?

If you don't like All Star Superman then I don't know what to tell you because I give no fucks about any Superman comics whatsoever with the exception of rear end which is one of the best comics I'm ever likely to read.

 Somebody talk about Superman comics please.

I don't typically care about Supes but I loved Morrision's rear end so I plan on getting the first trade of his Action comics. Has it ventured into Morrison weirdness? That usually puts me off.
