Superman: Birthright

Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu reimagined Superman's origin for a new era in this 2005 DC Comics prestige series. Birthright streamlined the Man of Steel's journey from Krypton to Smallville to Metropolis, offering a fresh, modern take on his early days as a reporter and hero. Though a single, self-contained story, its influence rippled through the character's mythos for years to come.
