A Mapping of Grant Morrison's Superman Stories: A Reconfigured Reading Order

Grant Morrison is one of the best comic book writers in the industry, and a big reason for this is his ability to tell a story over time. Now whether or not you understand the story Morrison writes as you read it is another topic all together, but one thing that is for sure is Morrison brings a whole new level of writing to the characters he touches, and it shows.

One of these characters, that he has been writing for 20 years in some form or another, is Superman; the hero who can overcome great obstacles, who is a symbol of hope that people and the world can be better, and most of all that Superman is a part of everyone and everything. Those ideals are present in Morrison's work, even if they are buried beneath such a complex and intense story about the Man of Steel.

One passionate Superman fan Jim Dandeneau wrote a very informative and interesting article called "Grant Morrison's Superman Stories: A Reconfigured Reading Order" which you can find over at the Den of Geek website. The article meticulously spells out how massive Grant Morrison's scope is when it comes to his work on Superman for the past 20 years. I highly recommend giving it a read, because the article is well written, and it makes you want to dive into these stories about a god like being with a "S" on his chest. After reading through the article I felt there needed to be a condensed mapping of Jim Dandeneau's Reconfigured Reading Order for Morrison's Superman, and so here it is for you. Enjoy.

And for those of you who haven't snagged your copy of the totally entertaining and "R" rated Deadpool that came out on Blu-Ray yesterday you should really get on it, and get a copy of your own. It is so worth it, and from the commercials it may give you an erection. If it does, and it lasts more than 4 hours then yes, you idiot, you should call your damn doctor! Wouldn't it be really late at night/way early in the morning when you would have such a prolonged boner after taking said dose of Deadpool (or related stiffy medication)? Would your doctor be up? No, probably not. Well that just means it is to be the ER for you, and if people there ask any questions just tell them Deadpool gave it to you. Chick, Chicka, Chicka!
