The Ultimates and Ultimates 2 were pretty kickass and definetely worth reading. Avoid Ultimates 3 like the plague though they changed creators and man did it suck.
All-Star Superman is pretty much the best classic style Superman story in years.
The nice thing about both of those is that they are set in their own continuity so they don't require knowing 40+ years of backstory.
Also, if you can find it on a Torrent site read Miracle Man by Alan Moore (and then taken over by Neil Gaiman) it predates Moore's work on Watchmen and it really is a must read for any comic fan. Unfortunately it's out of print so good luck finding the run at a decent price (hence the torrent suggestion). One word of warning in advance though, the company publishing it folded in the middle of Gaiman's run so it remains unfinished.
Still well worth reading, since it's one of the early examples of how good comic books can be.
