Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: This book is very good. I have been reading these books for about 10 years, and it was one of the best I have read yet. I don't see how anyone could not like Superman and his numerous books. I hope they keep writing more stories like this one, just don't kill him again...I don't think I could handle it again.

Summary: A mediocre build-up with & ending with historical worth
Review: This collection collects all the issues of the 'Death of Superman' story-line, which crossed through multiple Superman titles, in order. To speak in the laws of psychics: find out what happens when an unstoppable force clashes with an unmovable one. It's about: While Superman is getting on with his, for him, normal-day-life (rescuing dames, stopping people from taking over the world etc.) something big is escaping it's prison deep down in the earth. It starts to move and on it's flight it literally leaves a trail of death & destruction. In no-time every super-powered being around goes after it but nobody is able to even slow 'it', quickly nicknamed 'Doomsday', down ... wherever it's headed at. And Doomsday DOES have a destination. Superman naturally decides to go after the impressive character. Overall a mediocre story with the eventual results of the story-line as the biggest pull-factor to get it. Luckily the flow of events reads fluently which saves it from becoming boring, but not a heck of a lot happens. The bigger part of the book is filled with brawl-scenes. Up-points are the non-cliche ending and the fact that although the drawings are done by several artists that it's nowhere a problem. The art itself is nothing special but the several styles blend without any problems. For people who're interested in the presented story-line it's a good book because it's hard to get all the issues to read it complete and in chronological order. Even for people who normally don't read much Superman books it's a nice pastime because of the 'historical importance' of the story. But objectively seen, quality-wise it isn't far more than average.

Summary: The best comic ever; pure and simple.
Review: This comic has substance to it. It's not just fighting. Superman is an icon. Losing him instills feelings in people. Along with beautiful artwork and a great story line, this is the best comic book I've ever read.

Summary: The Death Of Superman
Review: This is a defining moment for the new Superman comics series. It contains a major threat worthy of Superman's powers and wits. The story's excitement grows and grows with each chapter as Doomsday gets closer to Metropolis. Even though they brought Supes back to life later, this set the stage for some great stories about life without a Superman, pretneders to the throne, and his eventual return (also in graphic novel form).

Review: This is a vary good comic book to read because you have mixed emotions and the fighting is unbeleivable .It started off makeing you wonder how and who made doomsday.The ending finished beautifly and for me it almost made me cry to think this could be the last time we read about superman.(But that remains to be read).

Summary: The biggest event in Superman's life
Review: This is still one of the biggest stories in comics publishing. I remember the media event this storyline was in 1992, with regular newspapers announcing that DC was going to kill the Man of Steel. I anticipated it months before the comics came out. As it was, I scrounged around half a dozen newsstands trying to get all the issues (no comics shops where I grew up). I missed a few parts, but I got the final part of the battle where Superman dies. It moved me like few comics stories do. I really cared for Superman since John Byrne revamped the character in 1986. He was a more vulnerable, human character with more interesting stories.
At this time in his career, Superman had just joined and become leader of a new Justice League, post DeMatteis and Giffen. His colleagues in the JLA; Bloodwynde (Martian Manhunter), Guy Gardner, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle among others all join Superman to stop this immensely powerful Doomsday character who is wreaking destruction all the way to Metropolis after breaking out of some secret prison. Doomsday's origins and motives are not revealed in this story (see Hunter/Prey), but the mystery of this character works here. After Doomsday swats aside the rest of the JLA like they were nothing, he and Superman fight to a bloody stalemate. This is the most punishment Superman has ever taken in his life and it shows. Of course, you know he dies. But he manages to take out Doomsday first.
This trade paperback was valuable in filling in the gaps in my single issue collection. It's worth buying.
The online debates about Doomsday just being a copy of the pre- Peter David Hulk raged for years after this story, as well as who was stronger in either comics universe. Let me just remind all the Marvelites out there: Doomsday would rip Hulk a new one. ;)

Summary: Supes Dies. Audience Falls Asleep
Review: This is the once-controversial story where Superman fights the big bad Doomsday and dies (for about five months). While much of what followed this story - collected in two other books - is very good - this tale of violence and meaningless self-sacrifice is pretty lousy. It's a lot of fighting and death, and nothing else. There are a lot of good Superman trade paperbacks out there. This isn't one of them. Better to save your money for one of them.

Summary: The most powerful hero of them all meets his match
Review: This is without a doubt one of the best graphic novels of all time. This is the equivelent of the Dark Phoenix saga from the Marvel Universe, which is by many considered one of the best of them all. This will keep you hooked from beggining to end. With the start of the Doomsday Creature escaping, to the brutal defeate of the JLA, to the ultimate confrontation between the two resulting in a double kill. It's very hard to describe the story as it's just one of those that you have to read to believe. I can't push that point across any further. You must read this one if any out there.

Summary: Death of Superman Review by Ryan F.
Review: This was a great book. Arguably Dan Jurgens best work, and the most epic comic story of all time. It was a well written story that will probably be known by generations of comic readers to come. Alot of twist and turns that will still leave you in disbelief of the ending despite the title.

Summary: Boring and uncreative
Review: Well, I guess I'm just used to comics like the X-Men in which an arch-villain has some sort of deeper motivation and isn't simply "the personification of hate, anger, and bloodlust," as one of the psychics describes Doomsday in this trade paperback. The fact that Doomsday can't even speak doesn't make him all that much more interesting, he's just sort of this giant punching bag that wanders through the midwest destroying things. If the writers at DC had even bothered to give a little bit of background to Doomsday, it would have made him much more interesting. After reading this, I was really grateful for a series like "The Tick," which makes fun of all the really bad cliches and trite, campy morality plays that stories like "The Death of Superman" employ. A five-year old child could have easily envisioned this tale of "super-strong bulletproof good guy fights evil destructive mobile punching bag," and perhaps they could've even written the dialogue too. Still, the reason I gave this trade paperback 3 stars is because it *is* the story of the death of Superman, one of the greatest pop culture symbols of our time, and the artwork is pretty good, I suppose... But really, I think it was about time for him to die, because comics have just matured too much in the past 70 years for such a simple "invincible good guy" with far too many superpowers to still be interesting. I just wish the writers had been a little more creative... a story in which Lex Luthor or some other archvillain finally outsmarts Superman and ends up injecting liquid kryptonite into his veins would have been far more interesting than this 7-issue fight sequence.
