Above and Beyond” by Jerry Ordway (W), Tom Grummett (P), Doug Hazelwood (I), Glenn Whitmore (C), and Rob Leigh (L): It was a day that no one ever dreamed would arrive: the day an unstoppable force met an immovable object. In Doomsday, Superman met his ultimate match—and his death! Relive the monumental event in this 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of the Death of Superman saga, featuring a new introduction by Dan Jurgens and other extras. This volume collects Superman #73-75, Adventures of Superman #496-497, Justice League America #69, Action Comics #683-684, Superman: The Man of Steel #17-19, and Newstime: The Life and Death of Superman #1—plus Superman: Day of Doom #1-4 as a bonus tale! Thematically, I had this thing about being a superhero that I had explored with Superman where you're always aware of all the other things that you have to get done. This was a John Henry version of that where he needs to get to Superman, he needs to save him, but then he also keeps running into other people he needs to help and needs to save," Simonson says.

Synopsis for "The Life of Superman" This article is a stub. You can help DC Database by expanding it. I was in on it, but Brittany Holzherr was very much the editor. We had some discussions about what these stories could be. How we could fit certain niches that wouldn't be repetitive and things like that. The Death of Superman" is not the only 30th Anniversary that DC is celebrating in November, however. Ahead of the Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special one-shot out later in the month, a new WildC.A.T.s title debuts this week from writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Stephen Segovia. WildC.A.T.s spins out of "The Long Con" story told across Batman: Urban Legends #1 through #5, and will be a limited series reuniting the team under the leadership of Cole Cash aka Grifter.

What are some of your favorite adaptations of Death of Superman? What do you feel they bring to the story? This story is featured in the novel Death and Return of Superman, written by Roger Stern. For the most part, the novel is fairly accurate to the storyline, though it had a number of changes to it. Amongst those were writing out the involvement of the Underworlders, giving Claire Anderson a slightly more proactive role (standing up to Doomsday when it barreled into her house) and putting in the involvement of John Henry Irons that was mentioned in his first full appearance.

In fairness, John had only known that Clark was Superman for a little while at that point, because he had first found out in your Superman: Lois and Clark limited series.In the " Standing Guard" story, the Guardian mentions Superman being controlled by Sleez which was shown in Superman Annual (Volume 2) #2. Screen Rant: With the Death of Superman, there's an interesting tension going on between death and legacy. When a character dies in comics, there's always the saying that no character stays dead, except for Uncle Ben. And so Superman's story on one hand stopped when he died, but it continued on through the rest of the event through the different perspectives of these characters. And that's now being explored in the 30th Anniversary Special. How does the idea of legacy and death, or the end of one's story, play out against each other? Funeral for a Friend Variant Cover by IVAN REIS and DANNY MIKI (L), 1:25 Doomsday Variant Cover by FRANCESCO MATTINA (C), Premium Polybag Variant Cover w/armband (R) They're all favorites in different ways, and that even includes when Smallville brought Doomsday on. They didn't do Death of Superman so much, but we still saw Doomsday. Even in Krypton when that was on TV recently, we started to see Doomsday. They all have their own individual strengths, and it's just marvelous to be able to see it on each and every level, even with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It wasn't just having Doomsday on the screen, it was also seeing them try to recapture some of the scenes that I had done in the books and to film them as they existed. When you draw it, you can't possibly imagine that that's going to happen. Each of these has had something going for it that has made it strong in its own right. It has been a lot of fun to see over the years.

Only three of the stories in The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 focus on varying character perspectives during the original event. Jurgens and Breeding's story, 'The Life of Superman,' takes place in a version of the present day, which was very intentional – not just for introducing Doombreaker, but for bringing a variety of readers into the event and making it feel impactful. Did you ever imagine in 1992 that you'd still be talking about “The Death of Superman” all these years later?

Even now, thirty years after "The Death of Superman” first came out, every single convention or store appearance I do has at least one person who comes up to me with Superman #75 or the first “Death of Superman” collected edition and says, “This is the book that got me into comics. And I’m still here, reading, all these years later.” Most times, it’s more than one. Sometimes, multiple people arrive at my table at the same time and share their memories, which is always fun to experience. To celebrate the special anniversary of this genre-defining moment, DC has reunited the original creative teams of Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding; Roger Stern and Butch Guice; Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove; and Jerry Ordway and Tom Grummett for The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1. Available at comic shops on November 8, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 features four all-new stories that explore the lasting impact that Clark’s death had on his family and friends as well as nine pinups and variant covers by some of the top names in comics. Whether you’re a longtime Superman fan or just a fan of the medium in general, news that the full Death of Superman team is reuniting is a pretty big deal, So, we brought all of our questions to Jurgens, who broke down all of the exciting things in store for us…

The creature comes across an overpass and destroys it along with another semi that was passing over on the overpass. It then grabs a car and throws it hundreds of feet into the air, with Superman catching it. At this point, the creature wanders into a department store, where he hears a TV commercial in which he hears the word "Metropolis" as Superman once again engages the creature in combat.
