| | Graphic Novel Reviews: Superman - Page One |
 | | This was the "event" DC Comics came up with back in 1992 in which their flagship character, Superman, bites the big one. |
 | | Doomsday is supposed to be so fast, even Superman can be taken by surprise, but though there are myriad techniques the artists could employ to capture the sense of superfast movement, they choose not to. |
 | | This collection shows the comic's evolution: in the early stories Superman is a bit cocky, and not all that reverential of life, he evolves into a more pious, almost Christ-like figure by the '70s, then Moore and Byrne up the violence and turn Supes into a snarling, epithet-hurling, bruiser. |
