Status Updates From The Death of Superman (New ...

This CE includes Newstime: The Life and Death of Superman.

I don’t think this was the best place to put it, as it references Superman’s funeral and it also talks about events that we haven't seen yet.

I have to be honest, I didn’t read everything super thoroughly. Just the ‘articles’ that were specifically about Superman.

Superman #75 -
I liked what they did with the panels. It became full page art then the last were two-page spreads.

I thought it was sweet they gave Lois and Clark a brief farewell before the final moment.

I don’t really understand how Doomsday was ‘stopped’. After everything, a few punches is what does it?

Nonetheless, it is quite an iconic moment in comic book history!

Superman: The Man of Steel #19 -
Doomsday arrives in Metropolis!

He’s smashed underground and frees - then kills the War Worlders.

Lex, in front of reporters, questions how Supes can protect the city if this beast is targeting him. And he finally agrees for Supergirl to help. Not that she does much, honestly.

Cadmus soldiers arrive and Superman is determined to stop Doomsday’s rampage here!

Action Comics #684 -
Superman realises Doomsday doesn’t seem winded what-so-ever, despite fighting all day.

It’s interesting how confident Lex is that Superman will prevail, given how many times he’s planned to kill him.

Supes flings Doomsday accidently into Project Cadmus’ mountain.
He tries to bury it but it bursts out and knocks down SM and Guardian.

Then it makes its way to Metropolis…

Adventures of Superman #497 -
Superman downs Doomsday long enough to help Bloodwynd, who then can help Mitch and his family.

Superman and Doomsday end up fighting in the middle of this town. Supes wonders if this beast is somehow getting stronger…

Maxima joins in and revels in the fight. And sets off an explosion!

Superman realises he must face Doomsday alone.

Superman V2 #74 -
Maxima takes Ted to get help.

Mitchell and his family are caught up in the devastation by simply being in Doomsday’s path.

Funny how Booster is the one who names him.

Even with the full force of the JLA, Doomsday remained standing.

After beating all the others, the beast leaps away.
Superman refuses to let it get away.

He even ignores Mitchell’s pleas for help!

Justice League America #69 -
The team begins by helping those who happened to be in the way of this ‘monster man’.

They follow its path of destruction to the beast itself….

And quickly learn they are vastly outmatched.

Beetle had time to figure out who Bloodwynd was though… Before getting brutally beaten.

Superman is on his way…

Superman: The Man of Steel #18 -
A bit of a mundane main story, with Superman dealing with the War World escapees.

Thought, it was set up well with Keith.

The main point of this was to showcase how destruction and unmerciful Doomsday is.

And how Lois will continue to rush head-first into danger.

(Love that the comics are in the correct order!)

Oh my goodness, I have had this event in my sights for a while and I’m so excited to be up to it!

I’ve never read it though of course, the ending is no surprise.


Those one page prologues were pretty cool.
How mysterious, intense and interesting!
