Superman, Volume 1: Son of Superman

I've always felt that one of the most essential parts of a good Superman story is his need to surround himself with family, and how that family gives him strength. This volume - where Superman and his wife Lois try to help their son Jon with his developing powers - tells that story very well.

The superhero-y bits with the Eradicator attacking Jon for not being “perfectly” Kryptonian provide a nice thematic counterpoint to that family story as well.

I have no idea of how this fits into the larger DC continuity, or if that word even has meaning anymore, but as a stand-alone story this was great.
