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

About the Author

Dan Jurgens is a writer and artist most famous for creating Booster Gold as well as for being one of the main forces behind "The Death of Superman." He has written and/or illustrated titles such as JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA, Captain America, The Sensational Spider-Man, Thor, TEEN TITANS, AQUAMAN, DC's Tangent imprint, and the DC crossover known as ZERO HOUR.

Karl Kesel loves his job far more than he has any right to. Over the past 25 years he has written, inked, and occasionally penciled most of the major comics publishers' major characters -- including Superman, Superboy, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and Captain America -- although he has an inexplicable fondness for minor, obscure characters no one else remembers.

Louise Simonson began her career in comics as an editor for Warren Publications, and went on to work at both Marvel Comics and DC, where she garnered acclaim for her writing on X-Factor, Power Pack, New Mutants, SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL,STEEL, and WORLD OF WARCRAFT. She is the author of the graphic novel Snow White and the Seven Robots.

Roger Stern has written for radio, television, the stage, and the Internet, creating scripts for everything from sketch comedy to flash-animation. For ten years, he was the senior writer of the Superman series, and has written hundreds of stories about such diverse characters as Green Lantern, Supergirl, Starman, and the Justice League for DC Comics; and Spider-Man, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, and the Avengers for Marvel. His first prose novel, The Death and Life of Superman, was a New York Times bestseller.

Epic, But Not For the Reason People Think

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is in some ways the second half of the story started in Reign of the Supermen, and also the end of the death and return of Superman storyline (though there is another volume included in the series after this one). But, strangely, in a lot of ways it is vastly more devastating and intense than the Death of Superman event that kicked off this whole saga. Though the volume is primarily about the triumphant return of Superman, it comes at a huge cost--the deaths of millions of innocents. Casual DC comics readers like me are probably vaguely aware that Green Lantern's city, Coast City, suffers a horrible fate in this storyline, but it is really something else to read it unfold. The Return of Superman himself is important, yes, but it almost dwarfs in comparison to the tragedy that befalls Coast City before he comes back and manages to save the day. It's both brutal and brilliant. Superman's return would have been something to celebrate already no matter what, but his return and meting of justice against one of his most vile pretenders is made all the more satisfying because of the stakes and losses felt before his return. Really cathartic to see the Last Son of Krypton return to his rightful place, and a brilliant end to this storyline (again, excluding one more volume that acts as a coda).

I remember when these comics came out in the early 1990’s. This is a great series of stories around the Man of Steel!

Pretty awesome. I've always enjoyed this storyline and it has aged just fine. Great artwork and an interesting, unpredictable story. Would have been nice to have more background on the main villain but that's okay. Recommended!

Still A Decent Collection With More Content then the Original One Tome Collection

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

These 5 volume Death and Return of Superman book's are a decent collection add more original content then hardcover or tpb's editions with the full newstime in Death, the complete World Without one shot World Without Superman, the assorted line of Superman 93' Annuals which interspersed the Reign of the Supermen with the Bloodlines x-over running through all of DC's 93' Annuals, Adventures of Superman; 505, Action Comics; 693 And Superman; 83, as the epilogue chapters but I wish they would have included Man Of Steel; 26 and Adventures Of Superman; 506 as they spin/ launch Steel & Superboy into their own series and their first volume collections don't include them either,

The five primary artists on the main books Action Comics, Man Of Steel, Superman, Adventures Of Superman, Green Lantern (vol.3) do dam good jobs as DC wasn't really as dynamic in the as their competitors and with the often quick & muddy house style by new artists as seen on the annuals.

Both of the Return volumes do read a little more clunky then the first return collection printed in one volume, in my opinion its both the cover pages and the Here Lies pages as the chapter breaks, and most of the covers weren't as dynamic and more spoiler specific to those issues with the Action Comics & Superman covers being the worst

Superman: The Return of Superman

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2023

The cyborg Superman is unmasked as a villain when he destroys Coast City and frames the Last Son of Krypton. The Superman clone and the Man of Steel race to the machine city that has taken its place to confront the cyborg and Mongul, who plan to destroy Earth as an act of revenge against the first Superman. When Superman returns, he must fight to be recognised once more.

A very engaging conclusion to 'The Death of Superman', which reinvigorates the character of Superman and reinforced why he is necessary in any age.

Not worth reading.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

Enjoyed the Death of Superman and was really interested in this as it details the Man of Steel’s rise from the ashes however the cover is the only decent thing about this product. Art style is horrible and the story is way too slow as it’s constantly focusing on the other “Supermen” and not Clark Kent’s recovery and his return.
