The trade reproduction of the mainstream crossover stunt that DC comics pulled back in the early 1990s. Everyone knew they weren't going to kill him, so from that point of view it was pretty silly. Other than that, most of the story and the whole Doomsday beatdown wasn't too bad, although perhaps it tailed off a little towards the end.

In the 90s, this was definitely one of the 100 most shocking moments, the death of Superman. In America, he is a hero for sure when it comes to fictional characters. The story starts off slow, like most stories do, but it does serve to build a giant explosion of action that will keep you fliping the pages to see what happens next.
Doomsday, the villain of the story, is definitely portrayed as an unstoppable force. He is pure destruction, killing many people while leaving rubble and the JLA destroyed in the wake, a real challenge for Superman. There will never be a moment in the history of comics that will ever top this story. Since then, we know what happens after the story and Superman's return, but that doesn't stop this from being any less of a good read.

Lots of action in this book. There's not really a story to it. The only important things are that Superman died and that the Justice Leugue got beat up really badly. A fun but short read and a good buy.

Wow, I never thought it would happen. Superman died! Great story, well-written, well-drawn. The bad guy, Doomsday, looks awsome. I can't wait to find out were he came from. Get all three in the Death of Superman series, it ties the story all up in a nice bow. Anyone who likes Superman stories will love (and hate) the Death of Superman. It almost feels like it really happened.

This is the greatest Superman comic book ever! You are probably wondering,"How the heck did a 10-year old get ahold of this?" I found this in an old shoebox in the basement. Graphic novel indeed!This is incredibly violent.But it's more than just mindless boxing.I wouldn't recommend this for 5-year olds.(alias:my brother)Age group:10-70.Content includes:violence,cussing,destruction,death,and blood.Think that's bad?The violence doesn't even compare with today's comics.I was flipping through a Spider-Man comic in a bookstore.Spider-Man smashed a man's face into a concrete girder!Terrible!There are several heroes in this book that are beaten to a pulp.First Guy Gardner(don't know the heck he is)is beaten until his face is puffy!Booster Gold(still don't who these guys are)has his head stuck in a car door and slammed shut.Fire and Ice(who the heck are these people)get a good k.o. x) And Blue Beetle is bashed face first into pipes and concrete.Superman,on the other hand,puts up a good,bloody fight to the finish.At the very end,each fighter throws their final punch,knocking the blood out of each other's mouth,the fight is over.Both dead.Greatest book ever!
