I'm not really a huge Supes fan tbh, but I like this article:http://comicsalliance.com/superman-a-celebration-of-75-years-review-dc/?trackback=twitter_top

hmmm 2/3rds of those stories are exactly the same ones printed in my Best Superman Stories collection from the late 80s (Byrne issue being the final entry in that one)
dunno if that undercuts his argument or not

nah, that actually makes sense, the late 80s was when the dark, "realistic" edgy superhero themes took off. it's more surprising now that the wheel has turned back around

yeah that occurred to me too
altho I didn't think my collection was about failure/sadness - there is that, but it also has the first appearance of Mxtylplyk, Superman's bday/Fortress of Solitude introduction, what if Krypton hadn't blown up etc. it has its share of fun.
