I just bought the Return of Superman trade and I'm curious as to which trade to pick up to find out what happens afterward. Am I out of luck?

Yeah, pretty much. DC doesn't really trae coplete series (or not until recently anyway), so there's really nothing to send you to. But the back issues for that era should be fairly cheap.

And hey, I thought they were good.

Yeah, to my knowledge they've never collected much in the way of post-Reign. A shame, too, because I'd like the Fall of Metropolis (the post-Return, pre-Zero Hour story that wrote off Lex posing as his son) in trade form.

There were several prior to Electic-Blue Superman:
The Trial of Superman, The Death of Clark Kent, Superman/Doomsday Omnibus, Final Night, and Superman: Transformation.

Trial Deals with Superman being put-on trial for the destruction of Krypton. I read the story as it came-out, and it was ok.

Death of Clark Kent is better. Conduit knows Clark Kent = Superman and is expoliting the knowledge because he's been nursing a grudge sense the womb. Post-Crisis take on Kryptonite Man.

There is also the Superman/Doomsday Omnibus. The first two Doomsday Minis, Superman/Doomsday: Hunter Prey and The Doomsday Wars, are firmly gounded in the post-Death/Return Superman.

Hunter Prey has Superman fighting Doomsday on Apokolips. Origin of Doomsday by the guy that created him. Oh, and Hensaw the Cyborg Superman gets a slightly diffrent outfit.

Doomsday Wars moves the fight to Earth.

I don't know much about the other issues collected in the Omnibus though, I have read them.

Final Night edned-up as a DCU event, but it started out as an idea for Superman. Final Night works best, I think, when viewd as a Superman and Green Lantern Story.

Superman: The Weding and Beyond is pretty self-explainitory.

Superman: Transformation is the begining of Electric Blue Superman.
