Return of Superman

The final chapter in Dan Jurgens' Death of Superman trilogy, Return of Superman is an exciting and massive final nail in the coffin. After Superman's body mysteriously disappears, four superhumans appear in a crime ridden Metropolis, all claiming to be the real deal. We have the Cyborg (not Vic Stone from Teen Titans either) who looks like Superman with a Terminator-esque endoskeleton taking up half of his body. There's the Eradicator, who wears a visor and kills the criminals he fights. We have Superboy (who was never handled well, except by Geoff Johns in the much later relaunch of Teen Titans), a younger clone of the Man of Steel, and last, we have Steel; who is weapons designer John Henry Irons in a suit made of steel (and subject of the ungodly bad movie Steel starring Shaq). As this massive TPB goes on, we learn just who's who, and what the Cyborg is really up to; all of which leading up to the return of the real Man of Steel. Though the dialogue may be corny, there are a number of pivotal moments here. This is the first appearnces of Superboy and Steel, as well as the destruction of Coast City; better known as home to Green Lantern Hal Jordan, which would lead to the much maligned Green Lantern Paralax saga where Hal goes insane. The art varies from issue to issue in this TPB, but there's nothing overly bad to be found here either. All in all, Return of Superman isn't an essential addition to your Superman library, but it is pivotal chapter in the life of one of the most popular and oldest superheroes in comic book history.

Superman was killed by Doomsday but he came back to life in the form of four other heroes, one of them was the remake of Superboy. The Eradicator Superman was the serial killer. The Superboy was a clone of Superman who didn't have all of his powers, but he had Superman's aura. The Cyborg Superman who was a clone / robot version of Superman controlled by a Superman hater who was bringing about the end of the world. The Metal Superman who was a weaponsmith who wanted to honor Superman, and never called himself Superman. If that wasn't enough, Superman rose from the dead to safe the world. Although The Death of Superman is the superior novel (Doomsday fan right here), the introduction of Superboy with his new set of powers and the introduction of Steel and his Iron Man-like origin, makes this worth buying. Oh, yeah, the Eradicator is frag-friggin'-awesome!

When I ordered superman returned I got the original copy and not the newer version of it. But the story is as good as it gets.Rafael Gonzalez

The Return of Superman is a good book with lots of battles and destruction. Sometimes it can get cheesy but it's still good. It's a great buy since you get about 500 pages for a good price. When you start reading it and get to the middle,you start to miss the true Man Of Steel. When Superman finally comes back there's a huge battle that is really fun to read and the ending is really good. This book is really fun to read and it doesn't dissapoint.

The final epic chapter of The Death Of Superman saga. At the time I though they brought him back too soon. I still kind of think that, but these events can't be changed now. So as they are, they make for a great overall tale...epic in scope. Fantastic storytelling.

Was what son wanted he appreciated it

This is more of a newpaper feel to the pages in the book, so the graphics are as nice as some of the other comic book collections that I've gotten. I don't like them as much as the pages from "The Death of Superman".

Slow start but this story gets crazy by the second half. Bonkers man. BONKERS! Also, i'm still very confused on how superman is actually able to return back from the dead. This story doesn't really make it clear. I wish I had the answers.

Somebody should have tied Zack Synder to a chair and made him memorise every page of this.

Lovely read, suited it's purpose and helped me a great deal in the months I needed it for. Thank you

Excellent!
