Product Description
Product Description
The Death of Superman was a 1992 stunt that turned out to be DC's bestselling Superman comic ever. The massive 11-issue crossover among four different series (Superman, Superman: The Man of Steel, Action Comics, and Justice League of America) introduces an unstoppable alien named Doomsday who creates a path of destruction on his way to the heart of Metropolis and whom Superman must stop at any cost.It's of interest as a milestone of the Superman mythos (though of course the outcome didn't last), but casual fans might be underwhelmed by the unfamiliar villain and the unfamiliar Justice League (with Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and other minor heroes rather than the traditional lineup), the drawn-out story (by Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, and Roger Stern), and the ordinary art (by Jurgens, Jon Bogadanove, Tom Grummett, and Jackson Guice). --David Horiuchi

This review is from: Death of Superman (Comic)
Death of Superman was a great comic series. I was glad the day I found all the comics combined in one book. It sure did save me a lot of money. It was split into like 6 different comics.Death of Superman puts Superman up against a killing machine called Doomsday. Not much is known about the killer except for his love of destruction. He is destroying everything in his way and he's heading towards Metropolis. The Justice League of America goes into action to stop Doomsday. They fail in the process. He beats the mess out of most them. Some hold there own better than others, but Superman comes to the rescue of some of them. Once Superman starts fighting Doomsday it really picks up. It's some great drawing. Most of the shots are done in bigger squares and sometimes full pages of the comic. Mad props to all the artists and drawers who worked on this project. The final showdown in Metropolis is great. I love it when there punching each other so hard the shock is shattering all the windows. It's sad to see the big guy go down when he finally takes Doomsday out, but it was kind of nice to see him get beat. However, his death is short lived which is a great thing because Superman is the best ever. This book is definetly a must for all Superman fans.

It's was like watching Muhammed Ali VS Mike Tyson.....,
By Howard Brown (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death of Superman (Comic)
The absolute best fight in Sperman's existance!!!!!Picture this; A creature of pure strength, power, rage. (No, not the Incredible Hulk, but at a very close proximity). On a path for an unknown reason to Metropolis. A team of powerful (even though uncoordinated) superheroes literally ripped apart by this creature (Named Doomsday by Booster Gold before he also got the ultimate beatdown). Everything and everyone in his path is destroyed and killed at a blink of an eye. One man, the ultimate boy scout, Big Blue himself is left to fend off thhis creature. First he underestimated Doomsday's power and that changed Real Quick!!..The battle crossed all across America and the focal point is in his hometown Metropolis..When it come down to it, Superman knows that this is the fight of his life. And as the title goes, it will be his life. Once you get past the side story in the beginning you'll be in for a wild (and painful) ride of your life.

One of the best grapic novels ever,
By cracka "jd" (Atlanta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death of Superman (Comic)
Like I siad before, I hadn't read the entire book intill the other day and still I loved it. I bought this at a book fiar for a decint price, I might have found it at a comic shop signed, by the guy behind the counter! The story is rich in creativety, art and charcter useage. The best part in the story is when the JLA got the crap bbeatin out of them by a Super-Super-Super Villian named Doomsday, Then Superman comes in and kills Doomsday and himself, at Metorpolis. This is the only D.C. comic I have but its great.
