Summary: world without a superman
Comment: What happens when Superman dies? We saw his death in a previous collection (see my review). And then there were the eight books: "Funeral for a Friend", which dealt with the immediate aftermath of Superman's "death." And a final comic, in which Superman comes back from the dead. Overall it is a pretty good set of comics, almost as good as his death.

Summary: Brilliantly Written and Drawn
Comment: I've always been a fan of Superman on film and television, and after recently watching the new Superman:Doomsday animated movie and it's bonus features I was compelled to go back and read the original comics.
I picked up The Death of Superman, World Without a Superman, The Return of Superman, and Superman:Doomsday.
Death is amazing, the way it was mapped out was absolutely brilliant from the writing and artist teams.
But, World Without a Superman to me is so much more powerful. It picks up right where Death of Superman ends. Lois is in the street, holding Clark as he dies.
It took me a few days to read, but every time I sat down to read, I couldn't help but start crying.
It was so heartbreaking. Not just for Lois and the Kents, although that was just so sad, silently grieving for their love and son. But for the other heroes, and the people of the world that Superman left behind. There are stories of people reminiscing about the time Superman saved their lives, and a kid feeling survivor's remorse, just wanting to have a chance to tell Superman, Thank you.
It was beautiful, and touching, and just so powerful. Tears streaming down my face, sobs even at times. Even now writing this I'm getting a little misty eyed.
I was pretty young when these stories originally came out, but I wish now that I had been reading them each week as they were coming out.
I highly recommend the entire series for any Superman fan. This is what Superman is all about, and I hope that someday a live action movie can do it justice.

Summary: Graphic SF Reader
Comment: This is the middle section of the Death and Life of Superman, or whatever you want to call that particular story.
Metropolis and the rest of the world are having problems coming to terms with the fact that he is gone.
Others see his body as a resource they can use in their schemes.

Customer Rating:
Summary: I like it.
Comment: I think it's better than The Return of Superman because it shows the whole worlds reaction to his death and there's a bigger story than The Death of Superman. If you read The Death of Superman you will probably enjoy this book even more.
