"Is it a bird?... Is it a plane?... It's Superman!"

Death and Reign of the Supermen - two series from the 1990s that can hardly be called groundbreaking.
Finally, DC decided to let its icon die.

The dramatic battle against Doomsday, scenes of Superman's funeral, and the appearance of four "new Supermen" who want to continue his legacy. Waiting for the next issue of the comic and learning the whole story now is probably comparable to waiting for the next episode of "Stranger Things" or "Fallout".

I highly recommend both of these series, as they had a huge impact and profoundly shaped the entire subsequent DC Universe.

Now let's see what other readers think about "Death and the Reign of the Supermen", because for many of them, these stories are unique and important chapters in the DC Universe:

„

A dynamic continuation of "The Death of Superman". Cyborg and Superboy bring fresh air to the story, and the Kryptonian origin story is captivating until the end.

Rating: 8/10

„

A brilliantly drawn DC classic. Jurgens and Grummet deliver suspense, action and solid mythology - a must-have for fans of the Man of Steel.

Thomas

Rating: 9/10

„

An interesting concept with several contenders for Superman's succession. Superboy and his escape from Cadmus are the most exciting, even if not all storylines are equally well developed.

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room? Rows of faded paperbacks, a set of encyclopaedias nobody ever finished, holiday souvenirs, a framed school photo and that one heavy atlas you pulled out on rainy afternoons. It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
