Best SUPERMAN comics that focus on CLARK KENT?

The link above is to a YouTube video by a couple of guys who post videos on their Prodigious Saps channel there. I discovered their channel a few weeks ago, and a majority of their videos are discussions about comic books adapted to film and TV. They are true fans and I find myself in agreement with most of what they have discussed. I am sharing the particular video because it's about the portrayal of Clark Kent in the comic books, and they talk about JB's handling of the character.

JB's handling of Clark Kent was pitch perfect, in my opinion. The way he got the reader invested not just Clark, but the supporting characters around him. Those were good times.

Interesting video, though they drag Bendis into it. What little I read of his run, had me rolling my eyes.

A comment for the video: mattlinkous4356: "Byrne’s basic idea was that he had spent most of his life living on Earth as Clark Kent so he would think and feel as Clark Kent. Which I think makes sense. He’s not a stranger in a strange land. That makes more sense of Martian Manhunter or even Wonder Woman."
