About this ebook

SUPERMAN IS DEAD. But now, four mysterious beings appear--all with the powers and abilities of the Man of Steel! One claims he is a clone from the DNA of Superman. Another--half-man and half-machine--says he is Superman with a cyborg body. Still another, a cold redeemer of justice, states that he alone has the right to wear the "S" shield. And, finally, an armored figure who says he fights with the heart and soul of Superman. Who is the true Superman? DAN JURGENS (SUPERMAN: LOIS & CLARK), JERRY ORDWAY (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), LOUISE SIMONSON (SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL) and others introduce four new Supermen to the DC Universe. The third of four volumes chronicling the epic saga of the Death and Return of Superman, collecting ACTION COMICS #687-688, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #500-502, SUPERMAN #78-79, SUPERMAN ANNUAL #5, SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #22-23 and SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL ANNUAL #2!

Ratings and reviews

A good classic story continuation after the death of Superman, but not the end of it, yet. This one tells more depth about the four Supermen and their backstory, plus some interesting additional characters.

This one book defines Superman. The characterization of the Cyborg Superman was great, soooooo soooooo much great. And so was the characterization of all the other Supermen. Then there is, oh man, then Clark Kent comes back and this book becomes one of the greatest Superman stories ever.

It's a good read , surely in my top 10 list of DC comics.
