In-depth review of The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus published by DC Comics. This magnificent collection contains the 90's epic event that shocked Superman and the DC Universe forever!

It includes the best-selling storyline from Action Comics #683-692, The Adventures of Superman #496-505, Green Lantern #46, Justice League of America #69, Superman: The Man of Steel #17-26, Superman #73-82 and The Legacy of Superman #1. It contains the work and the art of Dan Jurgens, Karl Kesel, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, Roger Stern, Joh Bogdanove, Tom Grummett, Jackson Guice, Dennis Janke, M.D. Bright, Walter Simonson, Brett Breeding, Mike Carlin and many more.

Correction: In this video I mentioned that killing Superman was originally the idea of Dan Jurgens. That is incorrect. It was actually Jerry Ordway's idea and the whole creative team ran with it.
