Summary: A disappointment
Comment: I dearly loved Dan Jurgens' run on the "Superman" comic books -- he wrote and drew some of my favorite Superman stories of all time, not the least of which was the infamous "Death of Superman" storyline. This is not that storyline, however -- it's a rehash of the story years down the line filtered through the perceptions of a stereotypical comic book "crusading journalist" type. The new characters are dull and the old characters don't really add much to the story that we didn't get ten years ago when it was printed the first time.
If anyone gets this paperback, it'll be Superman completists. People looking for a good Superman story -- get the original Death & Return saga... I'm afraid you won't find it here.

Summary: DOOMed from the Start?
Comment: If SUPERMAN: DAY OF DOOM -- a narrative penned by Dan Jurgens, the genius behind "The Death of Superman" storyline -- should be remembered for anything, it's in igniting the desire to go back and reread (and relive) the events of the entire "Death" series. Certainly, it's hard to compete with one of the most revered stories to come out of comics in the past twenty years, but Jurgens does a respectable job only trying to give a nod to the events now in Supe's ever-growing history. While the perspective of "looking back" is a nice touch, I found the character of 'Remnant' to be little more than formulaic. Still, DAY OF DOOM is a quick read, and it deserves a place on any Superman fan's bookshelf.
