I have Birthright somewhere but haven't read it yet--I really really should. I had no idea Mark Waid was involved. He curerently writes the insanely brilliant Daredevil vol. 3 comics, that I just adore, so him writing Supe? I need to get on that.
As for comics...I really liked "Secret Origin" but I'm not sure how much someone who usually isn't that much into Supe would like it...if that makes sense? I really love the Batman/Superman series because you usually get Bat's voice describing Supe and vice versa, which is alternatively angsty and fanboyish :D Oh, and Nightwing Year One has an issue that has Supe and is really cool.
Other than that I haven't read that many Superman series (except the random Action Comic) because I think that a lot of writers get him wrong. It's very easy to take a character like that and NOT make the reader care so I'm glad Mark Waid did and I'll go and read that comic later.
