Amazon.com Review:
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 Horiuchi

- The Death of an American IconIn 1992 DC Comics killed off the superhero who brought comic books to their glory days. In a similar fashion, the death of Superman brought thousands upon thousands of new readers to the genre since Superman had become an American cultural icon. While short lived, this collection of comics represents a turning point in the comic industry, where no superhero was safe any longer. Shortly thereafter, DC Comics pulled a similar "stunt" with their other flagship hero, Batman, with the Knightfall story ... Read More

- Not Worth The MoneyI read this book expecting to read a epic story of superman's death. Instead i get a story with absolutely no story. It starts with superman saving lois thats good. Then for a few pages you doomsday trying rip out off a box. The reason why no explanation. it just happens. Then for the whole book he just kicks the crp out of superman. No character building no strong story just him beating the crap out of people. Near the end doomsday beats everyone. superman says that HE is weak and doomsday is still ... Read More

- Review of Death of SupermanI found this alright. The drawings are nice, and the themes of relentless justice and relentless evil are strong, but the novel doesn't really touch on any pressing or revealing moral issues. The ethics of this comic book are too straightforward to be truly enjoyable.
I know very little about comics, so don't take my opinion in these matters too seriously.

- 168 pages of punchingI would have hoped they would have put more thought into how to kill the greatest superhero ever but they didnt. Its pretty much 168 pages of Superman punching Doomsday. No plot twists nothing clever no surprises. Superman meets a monster as tough as him and they punch each other a lot.

- The death of a superhero icon is well managedThis lengthy comic is generally a ferocious battle between a super villain called Doomsday and first the JLA and then Superman. Doomsday seems unstoppable, when he first appears the JLA minus Superman do battle against the rampaging monster to no avail. They are seriously defeated, some injured to near the point of death. Doomsday is not a monster with an agenda; the mind of the creature cannot be probed beyond the point of having the simple goal to destroy everything it encounters. A television journalist ...
