Superman: The Return of Superman

For any Superman comic fan - get this book - it's GREAT! Even classic! Yes, there are five characters in this story who claim or appear to be Superman and only one of them is truly the real thing. Yes, the plot twists and turns as the story slowly reveals the natures of all the imposters. Yes, it is a great payoff in the end, with a happy ending. Read it as the conclusion to The Death of Superman and A World Without Superman. My favorite parts are the origin of Steel and his connection to Supes, the Eradicator (who is a complex character - good/bad together), and the Cyborg character - wierd!! Any complaints that too many characters spoil the story - I have to disagree and say that they all make you appreciate the true Superman and his good character when he finally shows up at the 2/3rd mark in the story. And Supes with a mullet (long hair from being gone so long -- or because it was written in the early 90s) is just plain humorous. But it works fine for the story. A huge book - fantastic value - and you'll blaze through it!!! This one definitely satisfies!

This is a great book that chronicles the period after "Funeral for a Friend" and shows the triumphant return of Superman after he was beaten up by Doomsday. The four imposter Supermen offer an exciting element of wonder and treachery to the story. This is a great buy.

I collected all sepratly,but until I got this book I was messing the best. The return of superman was what i've been whating for.

If you like this, read "The Death and Life of Superman" by Roger Stern. It is a 400 page novel that includes Reign of the Supermen, Funeral For a Freind, and the battle with Doomsday and a whole ton of back-story the first few chapters. It has info the comics don't, and a must read for any Superman fan. The way he describes the charecters is awsome! Pick it up today, and no, I am not Roger Stern's press agent!

This book collects the entire run of Reign of the Supermen. It's a got a long story but it still feels like the story could have gone on longer because it is well paced, interesting and you would wish to see and get to know more the men who tried to replace Superman. Also, it makes you want to know more the reaction of various people and supporting characters regarding the four Supermen. Something this story kind of lacks but the climax does satisfy me.
