No one can be a lamer character than Superman, but this collection really hits lots of high points. The whole issue of genetic engineering is addressed in a surprisingly intelligent and forceful way. Facing your fears is another powerful theme, and how Doomsday is finally defeated is so clever and so wise it can make you relook at Superman as being a viable character again.

Suffice to say, this is a blockbuster of a compliation :D
I first got hooked on Superman vs Doomsday with The Death of Superman story (which is also excellent) and was really pleased with the stories in this novel.

The first half of the Doomsday compilation rocked. It was great learning the history of Doomsday (and what a rich history). It nicely ties together why these two arch enemies must rematch, and the action on the rematch is great. Unfortunately, the second half of the book is a disappointment. DC kept on resurrecting Doomsday for sales - and in the process ruins the legend of Doomsday. The low point was the final story where Lex Luther has resurrected Doomsday. The artwork was terrible; the story made no ... Read More

Back in the early 90's, DC comics came up with one of the greatest marketing promotions in the history of comics...They planned to kill Superman. And thus over the course of a number of different issues and titles, Superman faced off against a threat far greater than he had ever faced. A mysterious, monstrous creature named Doomsday, whose origin was shrouded in mystery. A being who wiped the floor with the entire Justice League and did the unthinkable...he, or it, killed Superman. Well, of course it ... Read More
