Now presented in DC's premiere Absolute Edition, the story that gripped the nation and killed DC's greatest hero, Superman!

Superman meets his match in the villainous Doomsday, a force of nature whose mindset is simply destruction. Rampaging through the DC Universe, Doomsday finds himself in Metropolis and goes toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel in a bare-knuckle brawl for the future of Metropolis. With a tattered cape and bruises with every blow, will the Man of Steel fall before the might of his most ferocious villain yet? This epic Absolute Edition expands the breathtaking artwork, leaving readers feeling every punch as if they were in the battle themselves.

Features an extensive gallery of over 200 pages of never-before-seen artwork, brand-new essays, scripts, retrospectives, a trading card gallery, and more! This edition is housed within a resealable black polybag marked with the bleeding S, and features a funeral box with replicas of the memorabilia included with the Superman #75 Memorial Edition, a remastered reproduction of Newstime - The Life and Death of Superman, and new in-world artifacts from the event!
