One major advancement for comics after the 90's is writers decided to write characters like actual people. Before that we had a lot of "My Golly G we gotta stop the bad guys!" and "Holy Molley geez what we gonna do?" Instead of them actually SPEAKING like NORMAL people. This "Death of Superman" arc is known as one of the biggest things DC ever done. This wasn't the first time they killed off a main character, they just knew killing off SUPERMAN would bring in headlines.

So what's it about? Well you got Doomsday landing on earth and hitting trees and trucks. Then the JLA comes over and is like "Hey, buddy, we gonna stop you!" not actual dialog, but pretty close. Then they each get beat to a pulp while Superman is doing a interview on TV. So you got Superman just chilling, talking about how he'll always protect us, while his friends are getting their shit wrecked. It's kind of funny. THEN Superman hears of the events and goes charging over. The brawl begins and Superman vs Doomsday come down to a fight of their lives!!!

What I liked: Doomsday slapping around the JLA is pretty fun actually. Just watching all the heroes getting beat to the ground while trying their best is kind of terrifying and fun to watch. Kind of fucked up for me to say huh? Owell.

What I didn't like: So yeah. Pretty much everything in this feels rushed along. Doomsday comes down to earth, beats people up, kills superman. The end. That's the whole plot. Over 150 pages and that's the best they came up with. Also the dialog is HORRIBLE. No fucking joke it's some of the worst I've ever read. Also Superman is kind of a dick in this and his ideas and mindset aren't what I'd consider superman worthy.

Overall this is a big old meh. I read this when I was young and remembered not enjoying it. Figured maybe when I'm older and read more Superman I'd enjoy it more. Nope. THis was pretttttty bad. Worth reading through to get his death but nothing worth mentioning.
