I was never really into Superman when I was a kid, or any DC Comics character other than Batman and Green Lantern for that matter (I was always a Marvel faithful), but when I heard that Superman was going to be killed, it was a big event in comics history. Here we see a monster named Doomsday, who escapes from his confines and begins to wreak havok across the country leading up to Metropolis. He kills and destroys everything in sight, and he totally decimates the Justice League, leaving only one thing between him and Metropolis: Superman. In quite possibly one of the best ongoing battles in comic history, they both duke it out until neither is left standing, I mean we get to see Superman bloodied, battered, beaten, and eventually dead. The heart of this collected edition is we get to see how far Superman goes to protect the innocent and preserve life, we all hear about that being a hero's vow in comics, but to see it actually illustrated is something different. All in all, if you want to read a good comic story that would lead up to one of the greatest returns in the history of comics, then this should be right up your alley.

When I first heard about a storyline about Superman being killed, I said 'It can't happen. The only thing that can kill him is Kryptonite & he has to be exposed to it for a very long time'. The story was very well written. The graphics excellent. After The Death..., the story about different Supermen trying to claim his place was a little too much.
Overall, it was very entertaining.

This is without a doubt one of the best graphic novels of all time. This is the equivelent of the Dark Phoenix saga from the Marvel Universe, which is by many considered one of the best of them all.
This will keep you hooked from beggining to end. With the start of the Doomsday Creature escaping, to the brutal defeate of the JLA, to the ultimate confrontation between the two resulting in a double kill.
It's very hard to describe the story as it's just one of those that you have to read to believe. I can't push that point across any further. You must read this one if any out there.
