Summary: Between Death And Life
Comment: At one time, in the 80's, I had a comic book collection numbering in the 1,000's. Thanks to the first Superman film, his exploits were among my "must buys" every month. However, for economic reasons and due to the rigors of college, I stopped collecting comics on a regular basis by the time this storyline first saw print in single issue format in the 90's. Special events in my favorite heroes "lives" may briing me out of retirement for a brief time-if I was intrigued enough. Even though, I knew it was an event, that was in part, created to boost sales-The Death Of Superman story qualifies as too cool to pass up. When I was out looking in the bargain bin in a comics shop, I came across all three parts of the story as trade paperbacks, at a good price, given that I forged ahead...
The story picks up right after Superman's deadly battle with Doomsday. Originallly titled Funeral For A Friend and published in single issue format, I must admit that World Without A Superman, is the most satifying part of the trilogy. All of the contributing Superman writers in the book have a handle on the characters. All of Superman's secondary characters and heroic "guest stars" get a chance to have a few moments. Even though the ultimate outcome of the man of steel's return was never really in doubt. The writing is very effective and I imagine that if the world really had superpowered beings to lose-it would go something like this. Lois Lane's grief is captured in a real way, even as not so real things are going on around her. At it's core, the story will resonate, even as I said, the outcome is never in doubt. Lex Luthor and Supergirl play key roles as well. The different writers do a fine keeping everything connected, which can sometimes be problematic, as seen in part III
As with the other books in the trilogy, the art varies, throughout the graphic novel. There's no doubt that the work done here was completed by some talented folks, it's just that some of the art stands out more than over the rest. The work by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding is among the best. There crisp style serves the multipart story quite well. There are a number of panels that I would not mind framing if I could
The book is the best in the trilogy of trade paperbacks. This is one that I'm glad I own There are 240 pages in the collection

Summary: The Aftermath of The Lost Battle
Comment: What happens when a Superman dies? This is the second trade paperback after The Death of Superman. The series was orginally titled Funeral For A Friend. Basically, it picks up after Superman's death. We watch how many lives are touched by it everyone from a street peddler to his parents. When I started reading comics in 1993, I picked up part three of this series. The scene that did it for me was when his parents decided to hold their own memorial and bury the things that meant that most to him (things that included a teddy bear and a baseball glove). This is the middle block between the Death and the Return. It is worth a read.
