Summary: Krypton Safety Net
Review: When is someone going to write Superman so that it does not sound like the same writers that were writing for him in the 1930's? This book is full of the same cornball dialogue that has become a plague throughout Superman's career. Superman grew up human - why not make him sound like it? This book does allow us to see a more human side to Superman - one with fears and an eroding self-confidence. The problem is that this unique storyline is overshadowed by the grade school, dumb it down writing. The story also uses the old fail safe, when it doubt make it Kryptonian safety net. The greatest challenge in a story about Superman is finding something that can challenge him, Krypton is too easy and this reader is anxiously anticipating something else. Superman is the greatest superhero of all time, but his future is endanger with these tired run of the mill storylines.

Summary: The Rematch: Did It Have To Happen At All?
Review: When The Death Of Superman saga arrived in the early 90's, one of the complaints heard among fans, was the fact that the man of steel's nemesis in the story, had no origin. Doomsday sort of came out of nowhere and just wanted to fight Superman to the death. For the record, I thought, (and still do) this was a good idea. In almost every other superhero comic book I have ever read, the villian's motivations are spelled out from the start. Doomsday was different. Without getting too technical, there are lots of things in the real world that go uexplained, not every problem is solved easily, and not every solution is spelled out to be tied in a bowHaving said that though.. In response to fandom's outcry for Doomsday's origin and a rematch with Superman, the mastemind behind The Death Of Superman gave us Superman/Doomsday: Hunter Prey. The story has our hero traveling to a planet called Apokolips. Once he arrives, he enlists the help of the time traveler known as Waverider, to help him discover the truth behind Doomsday. Having read the book I still feel the same about things the origin kinda lessons the impact and ruins the mystery. Still author Dan Jurgens gives readers plenty to like about the story. Considering what he came up with-it wasn't bad. There's a few surprises along the way as well. Since Jurgens and Brett Breeding did the BEST art on the original story, the team continues that trend here, and this time, they're all there is, which is even better. The artwork offers a clearly defined style, that is made even better, thanks to the use of glossy paper, rather than the standard stuff normally used. The colors stand out more and the battle sequences are as stunning as ever. The story may not have been all that it could have been (or should have). But the art in the book makes up for that. I can (almost) recommend the sequel on that alone Jurgens provides the Why and How reasons for the book in an introduction. Those pages also have a few early design sketches for Doomsday on them. All three original issues of the Hunter Prey mini seied are reprinted, along with their covers. The book has 158 pages
