10 Comics Superman Haters MUST Read

Superman: Grounded is the most recent entry on this list, and a pretty darn good comic too.

After the destruction of New Krypton (it's a long story) and spending too much time away from Earth, Superman decides to walk across America to connect back with the average citizen.

From the interactions between Superman and Batman to the concept itself, there's a ton to love with Grounded. However, the highlight of it is a brief moment where Superman meets a woman about to jump off a building.

A motif popping up repeatedly in the best Superman stories is that while he may have awe-inspiring power, what really makes him special is his compassion. The interaction between him and the suicidal woman captures this perfectly as, instead of just flying her to safety, he uses his words to make her feel less alone. He doesn't try to save her, but instead motivates her to save herself.

It would take a truly cynical soul to watch this scene play out and not feel at least some respect for the guy.
