About this deal

Art by DAN JURGENS, BUTCH GUICE, TOM GRUMMET, BRETT BREEDING, DOUG HAZLEWOOD, JON BOGDANOVE and MORE! I realized it was the 30th anniversary, and I started mentioning it to a couple of folks at DC and said, "There's an opportunity here, especially since we're all still around and able to work on it in terms of the original creators who were there at the time." A young Jon Kent finds out in school that his dad had died years earlier, as his parents never told him about that fateful day. In the midst of dealing with this emotional news, Jon and Clark need to team up to fight a new villain connected to Doomsday called DOOMBREAKER.

During an interview by Cat Grant, Superman gets word that the Justice League is being defeated and rushes off to help. Yes. It's hard to say now because video games are a little bit different than they were then, but it was still fun. It was something to do. Here we have Doomsday and we have Superman in this different medium. That is so fun to play around with. Did you ever imagine in 1992 that you'd still be talking about “The Death of Superman” all these years later? Whether you’re a longtime Superman fan or just a fan of the medium in general, news that the full Death of Superman team is reuniting is a pretty big deal, So, we brought all of our questions to Jurgens, who broke down all of the exciting things in store for us…

‘Superman: Son of Kal-El’ #17 features a tough chat between Clark and Jon Kent

In fairness, John had only known that Clark was Superman for a little while at that point, because he had first found out in your Superman: Lois and Clark limited series. I couldn’t believe it. There will never be another time in comics like that, and it was very special. And not just for us as creators, but it was special for the readers and the store owners as well. If this ignites some of the passion that existed at that time and the warm feelings, then so much the better. I never ever do a convention where someone doesn't come up to me and say, this is the thing that got me into comics. I think that's worth commemorating. The 30th-anniversary celebration of "The Death of Superman" doesn't stop at the newly announced special. On December 6, DC will release The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. The synopsis reads, "It was a day that no one ever dreamed would arrive: the day an unstoppable force met an immovable object. In Doomsday, Superman met his ultimate match—and his death! Relive the monumental event in this 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of the Death of Superman saga, featuring a new introduction by Dan Jurgens and other extras. This volume collects Superman #73-75, Adventures of Superman #496-497, Justice League America #69, Action Comics #683-684, Superman: The Man of Steel #17-19, and Newstime: The Life and Death of Superman #1—plus Superman: Day of Doom #1-4 as a bonus tale!" The fight is now at a burger joint 60 miles from Metropolis and Superman realizes that as fast as the creature moves, 60 miles is not very far away at all. So Superman grabs the creature and tosses him miles away into a nearby mountain, which turns out to be where the Cadmus Project is located. The fight shakes the project below as the tree city is destroyed in the fight. During the fight, the tree city collapses on the two of them just as Guardian arrives on the scene. The creature frees itself, toppling the trees onto Superman and Guardian. The creature leaps off again and lands on a road sign indicating that Metropolis is now 50 miles from where it takes its next leap.

Above and Beyond” by Jerry Ordway (W), Tom Grummett (P), Doug Hazelwood (I), Glenn Whitmore (C), and Rob Leigh (L):

TKO Presents announces meta-horror ‘Sacred Lamb’ for 2023

The fight is now being broadcast nationwide and even Lois and Jimmy are following in the Daily Planet helicopter covering the fight for the paper. Screen Rant: With the Death of Superman, there's an interesting tension going on between death and legacy. When a character dies in comics, there's always the saying that no character stays dead, except for Uncle Ben. And so Superman's story on one hand stopped when he died, but it continued on through the rest of the event through the different perspectives of these characters. And that's now being explored in the 30th Anniversary Special. How does the idea of legacy and death, or the end of one's story, play out against each other? The Death of Superman" has been adapted to film three times: Superman: Doomsday, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and The Death of Superman. To celebrate the special anniversary of this genre-defining moment, DC has reunited the original creative teams of Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding; Roger Stern and Butch Guice; Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove; and Jerry Ordway and Tom Grummett for The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1. Available at comic shops on November 8, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 features four all-new stories that explore the lasting impact that Clark’s death had on his family and friends as well as nine pinups and variant covers by some of the top names in comics.

I was in on it, but Brittany Holzherr was very much the editor. We had some discussions about what these stories could be. How we could fit certain niches that wouldn't be repetitive and things like that. To mark this monumental moment in comics, DC has reunited the complete creative team behind the original event for four brand-new stories. Even now, thirty years after "The Death of Superman” first came out, every single convention or store appearance I do has at least one person who comes up to me with Superman #75 or the first “Death of Superman” collected edition and says, “This is the book that got me into comics. And I’m still here, reading, all these years later.” Most times, it’s more than one. Sometimes, multiple people arrive at my table at the same time and share their memories, which is always fun to experience. The " Life of Superman" story takes place some time before the events of The Man of Steel (Volume 2).The story has the same name as one found in Action Comics #225, Superman #149, and an episode of Super Friends. It was a day that no one ever dreamed would arrive: the day an unstoppable force met an immovable object. In Doomsday, Superman met his ultimate match—and his death! Relive the monumental event in this 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of the Death of Superman saga, featuring a new introduction by Dan Jurgens and other extras. This volume collects Superman #73-75, Adventures of Superman #496-497, Justice League America #69, Action Comics #683-684, Superman: The Man of Steel #17-19, and Newstime: The Life and Death of Superman #1—plus Superman: Day of Doom #1-4 as a bonus tale!
