Civil War. Infinite Crisis. And now World War Hulk. These are excuses for comic books companies to make big $$$$ with some earth shattering all encompassing epic that usually affects the whole comic universe. Trouble is they rarely gel and too many of the sundry titles are weak and frivilous. Well DC just about get it right with this mammoth epic, which is suprisingly cohesive and pretty damn exciting throughout. The whole epic structure is very well done with buckets of action every issue and a terrifically huge climax to tie it all together.

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.

For any Superman comic fan - get this book - it's GREAT! Even classic! Yes, there are five characters in this story who claim or appear to be Superman and only one of them is truly the real thing. Yes, the plot twists and turns as the story slowly reveals the natures of all the imposters. Yes, it is a great payoff in the end, with a happy ending. Read it as the conclusion to The Death of Superman and A World Without Superman.
My favorite parts are the origin of Steel and his connection to Supes, the Eradicator (who is a complex character - good/bad together), and the Cyborg character - wierd!!
Any complaints that too many characters spoil the story - I have to disagree and say that they all make you appreciate the true Superman and his good character when he finally shows up at the 2/3rd mark in the story.
And Supes with a mullet (long hair from being gone so long -- or because it was written in the early 90s) is just plain humorous. But it works fine for the story.
A huge book - fantastic value - and you'll blaze through it!!! This one definitely satisfies!

This is a great book that chronicles the period after "Funeral for a Friend" and shows the triumphant return of Superman after he was beaten up by Doomsday. The four imposter Supermen offer an exciting element of wonder and treachery to the story. This is a great buy.

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.
