Also, I was wondering, are there any cool Superman comics involving the Parasite? i.e. any must-reads/must-haves?

Hmmmm....I never read too much Supes until recently. I would say that you may want to start with the Death of Superman group of TPBs. They include The Death of Superman, World Without a Superman, and The Return of Superman. Also, the recent Sacrifice TPB is a must have, IMO...not only to catch up on the current Infinite Crisis lead-ins, but also I think it will be a massive addition to the established Supes "canon". As for Parasite...not really familiar with him.

On the note of Kingdom Come: I'm about 55 pages in. WOW on the artwork. Fantastic. Also, the story so far is good, but a little slow. Still a good read overall. Alex Ross is a genius.
