Which of the recent Superman runs would you recommend?

I'll add to those recommending Morrison's Action run and Pak's as well. Superman/Wonder Woman is ok. I think the Soule stories were a bit better but the recent Tomasi stuff isn't bad either. Tomasi is hitting more of his stride now. He actually had a really great Superman moment in his recent arc that involved holding up a bridge. So without any spoilers, that moment really rang true as Superman for me.

I'd definitely check out the most recent arc of Superman/Batman though. It just finished up, so it's not in trade yet but really put it on your list. The rest of the series was a little too tied up in the Earth-2 series for my taste, but Pak clearly knows his stuff, so you'll probably enjoy it.

I wouldn't recommend Superman Unchained though. Superman seems to become irrelevant to the story about half way through and the ending is just terrible. It starts strong and really has a great Lois Lane, which I really liked. Superman just lifts right out of the story though. I found it pretty disappointing.

I loved it when it came out, and I still like it, but it's so tightly tied into the Byrne vision of Superman and all the good and bad that came with it, that it's hard to separate it from that version of Superman's origins, which over time has become my least favorite version of the origin story.

On the other hand, Greg Pak recently referrenced some of the towns people from Smallville that were introduced in SFAS, so perhaps it's worth reassessing it.

I was a fan of the Byrne Era. That was the time I started reading Superman on a regular basis. Of course I am one of those nostalgic people who loves the comics of the eighties.
