I've said it before and I'll say it again: All my favorite Superman stories aren't really Superman stories. I'm all about these Elseworlds stuff, like Red Son, Secret Identity, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, or even works along the lines of "It's a Bird" that are able to distill the basic idea and mythos of Superman, because in theory, I find the character to be fascinating. In practice, however (meaning the "in continuity" stuff) I find him to be kind of boring.

Red Son is easily one of my favorite Superman stories.
