Book Reviews of The Death of Superman
Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this book when I was younger, because it was just so famous when it came out, it really changed the DC Universe. The book has lost it's luster as I got a little older, however it is still a must read for any Superman fan.
Summary of The Death of Superman
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 HoriuchiThe Death of Superman was a 1992 stunt that turned out to be DC's bestselling Superman comic ever.
