Review Praise for THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN:The tragedy proved to be a massive hit receiving significant national news coverage and selling millions upon millions of copies. Spanning several different Superman titles the arc was a blockbuster in every sense of the word... the final fight between Superman and Doomsday is a knock-out brawl for the ages.--PASTE MAGAZINEAn epic and carefully constructed narrative.--BLOODY DISGUSTINGBoth in the universe and outside of it DC toyed with the idea of a culture that had come to take the Man of Steel for granted. This was a time when heroes were getting darker and more extreme in their methods and the style of the era didnt seem to allow for a character like Superman to keep his relevance. By removing Superman from the equation we - and the characters in the DCU - learned how important Superman was as an icon and his return was all the more impactful. This storyline brought the real and fictional universes together in a stirring realization of just how much Superman means to our culture.--IGN About the Author Dan Jurgens is a writer and artist most famous for creating Booster Gold as well as for being one of the main forces behind The Death of Superman.
