The Superman collected editions span decades of the character’s history in his main title. This collection covers the modern era from the New 52 through Rebirth, including Gene Luen Yang’s New Super-Man volumes that introduced Kenan Kong, the Chinese Superman.

The Rebirth era shifted focus to Superman as a family man, with Clark, Lois, and their son Jon Kent at the center of stories that balanced world-threatening action with domestic warmth. The volumes trace the evolution of the title through multiple creative teams and publishing initiatives.
