Superman Volume 2 Issue 75 Review
Superman Volume 2 Issue 75, was titled "Doomsday" part of the Death of Superman story, released by DC Comics with a cover date of January 1993. This issue was written by Dan Jurgens, pencilled by Dan Jurgens, Inked by Brett Beeding, Colored by Glenn Whitmore, and Lettered by John Costanza.
Needless to say,
I'm sure more than a few of you have heard about this comic, the
Death of Superman. It was one of the most famous issues of the 1990s
and it really did lead the way to the huge event, that went
throughout comic books. This book paved the way for storylines such
as Batman: Knightfall, where Bane broken Batman's back over in DC and
The Clone Saga over in Spider-Man in Marvel Comic Books.
Yet this one,
featured the vicious fight between Superman and Doomsday. One of the
more brutal fight scenes and this issue is just one really big fight
scene, really going right throughout this issue and it is really nail
biting.
Now the real
question is, how good is this issue? I mean it's fame really proceeds
it and we have all heard of this particular issue, but is it actually
a good issue or one of the most overhyped events in comic book
history?
I think that it
really depends on what you want out of a comic book. Looking at a
1993 comic through 2012 eyes is on rather shaky ground. The artwork
is rather good and the visuals were rather awe inspiring issue. And
the last moments of Superman, rather clinging to life, in the arms of
Lois Lane as he dies, was one of the most famous visuals in comic
books.
Most certainly,
the Death of Superman is one that you should likely want for your
collection just for the sheer notoriety of this issue and the era
that it spawned as well.
