Funeral for a Friend Variant Cover by IVAN REIS and DANNY MIKI (L), 1:25 Doomsday Variant Cover by FRANCESCO MATTINA (C), Premium Polybag Variant Cover w/armband (R) 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." Each of the original creative teams from The Death of Superman has reunited to tell a story that shows how some of Superman’s biggest allies reacted during and after his fateful battle with Doomsday: 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? So, Jon actually names him. And I think we do have an effective new threat for Superman that emerges out of this.

In the street where the creature is the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, led by Maggie Sawyer and Dan Turpin, open fire on the creature. What are some of your favorite adaptations of Death of Superman? What do you feel they bring to the story? 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. By expanding these perspectives and re-examining the impact of Superman's death, these creative teams are also exploring their own relationships with the characters in the DCU and asking questions about heroism, grief, and legacy – all of which are themes currently being explored in stories like Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths and the ever-expanding Wonder Woman mythos. And at the heart of The Death of Superman – both in 1992 and 2022 – is the question of what Clark Kent leaves behind.Although Ordway's suggestion to kill Superman started as a joke, it became a real idea thanks to Louise "Weezy" Simonson, who'd joined the Superman team at DC after several years working on the X-Men line at Marvel Comics.

As Superman frees himself from under the girders, it is now obvious the fight is actually taking a toll on him, as he is rarely injured but is now bleeding. Synopsis for "The Life of Superman" This article is a stub. You can help DC Database by expanding it. We started having some discussions and realized there's something we can do here that I think is fun for people, whether they were there and remember it and want to scratch that itch of nostalgia, or whether they weren't there at all and want to find out more about what it was about.To mark this monumental moment in comics, DC has reunited the complete creative team behind the original event for four brand-new stories. 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 creature comes across an overpass and destroys it along with another semi that was passing over on the overpass. It then grabs a car and throws it hundreds of feet into the air, with Superman catching it. At this point, the creature wanders into a department store, where he hears a TV commercial in which he hears the word "Metropolis" as Superman once again engages the creature in combat.
