Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN:

"The tragedy proved to be a massive hit, receiving significant national news coverage and selling millions upon millions of copies. Spanning several different Superman titles, the arc was a blockbuster in every sense of the word... the final fight between Superman and Doomsday is a knock-out brawl for the ages."--PASTE MAGAZINE

"An epic and carefully constructed narrative."--BLOODY DISGUSTING

"Both in the universe and outside of it, DC toyed with the idea of a culture that had come to take the Man of Steel for granted. This was a time when heroes were getting darker and more extreme in their methods, and the style of the era didn't seem to allow for a character like Superman to keep his relevance. By removing Superman from the equation, we - and the characters in the DCU - learned how important Superman was as an icon, and his return was all the more impactful. This storyline brought the real and fictional universes together in a stirring realization of just how much Superman means to our culture."--IGN

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Essential, But Worthwhile

This middle chapter in the death and return of Superman is often overlooked. It's understandable, as very little of the overall story moves forward. But it does serve as a slow interlude while various characters grieve the death of Superman. One of my favorites is an issue about Pa Kent grieving about the death of his son, and seeing images of Clark as a boy growing up. It's a heartfelt, tragic look at a parent blaming himself, unfairly and harshly as parents do, for his son's death. Little moments like these (and not the Doomsday smashing and bashing) are what make this saga so memorable. To be frank, there is a lot of filler and most readers can probably skip this volume, but for any completionist who is out there trying to learn more about DC history and the full event of Superman's death, this is a worthwhile read.

Bom, a minha edição da morte do sup é aquela dividida em dois volumes capa dura lançados pela panini mts anos atrás. Nessa edição alguns fatos não se conectam já que a parte do funeral foca apenas na perspectiva da Lois, e é aí que essa edição do funeral for a friend se encaixou perfeitamente! Ela preenche lacunas com os arcos do cadmus, da supergirl e do team luthor (assim como as edições formatinho da abril) e ainda vai além, pois conta com a historia completa de justice league #70 "grieving" que não havia na edição da abril (muitas páginas foram retiradas) e que é muito épica, pois mostra os heróis lidando com a perda, e não só os da liga da justiça. De qualquer forma acho que é muito complementar para quem tem a mesma edição que a minha, sacanagem que a panini não tenha lançado junto esse volume em português na época, considerando o tanto de cortes que fizeram naquela edição em 2 volumes. Ao menos agora tem o omnibus contendo toda a história sem furos, boa sorte pra quem conseguir bancar kkkkk
Preferi pegar em inglês pq já veio tudo junto numa tacada só, até tentei procurar os formatinhos da abril, mas achar formatinho tão antigo sem estar surrado é mais difícil, além de eu ter o privilégio de entender o idioma, para mim foi o mais conveniente, mas quem quiser, caça o da abril que talvez encontre em bom estado também.

De qualquer forma a edição é muito simpatica e bonitinha, possui uma boa organização interna e é bem completinha, um verdadeiro charme.

Sobre a loja minha experiência foi ótima, pois constava como "usado-bom" e quando vc compra algo que consta dessa forma, vc já espera que venha com algum amassadinho, rasguinho ou arranhadinho, só que pra minha surpresa veio 300% perfeito, se comparar com um novo sem o saquinho, vc nem nota a diferença, estava impecável!

What made Death of Superman the classic it is wasn't the fight or the death, it was the funeral.
At a time readers had become jaded about Superman, the creators showed the DC universe without the man of steel. Big moments of the world mourning Superman, and the quiet moments of his family mourning Clark Kent.
