10 Superman Graphic Novels You Must Read Before You Die

When DC launched 'The World's Finest' in 2003, they gave the job to Jeph Loeb in what would prove to be a masterstroke.

Having already proved himself with 'The Long Halloween', as well as having had a great run with Superman Vol 2, he set about teaming DC's two biggest icons together in a series that would see them team up to defeat all kinds of evil. But it would be his first six issues, known as 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies', that marked this book out as something special.

With a kryptonite asteroid heading towards earth, President Luthor declares that it's all Superman's fault and offers a billion dollars to anyone who can bring him - and Batman! - to justice. This sees all sorts of super-powered heroes and villains try to claim the bounty, but when they all fail, it's left to Lex to try and finish them off.

This would set a tone for Loeb's future work on 'World's Finest', and even though there would be some great moments after he left, the writer's initial run was easily the best.
