download the death and return of superman omnibus

Sacrificing his life to against an unstoppable global threat, the people of Earth must now accept that the world they live in is a world without Superman. The reviews for this new edition are very positive, I'm glad I waited and I'm glade DC made it right this time around.The unthinkable has happened. I do remember an Omnibus released in 2006 for this saga, the reviews were harsh. The 1993 edition for The Return of Superman ends with only a partial reprint of the issue, the full issue helps to give closure to the saga, reading only the partial portion printed in the 1993 edition makes the ending seem sudden and less than complete. I do know for a fact that the complete issue for Action Comics #692 is included and complete for the first time in the new Omnibus edition. I'm only on the first few chapters and I will soon find out if this is true. I've also heard this edition contains the missing pages from the 'The Legacy of Superman' special and Green Lantern #46, also material which was omitted from the first collected editions.

I have yet to read these pages and I'm curious to see what they are all about. There are also little things like the extra story pages from Adventures of Superman #500, the poly-bagged collector's edition, pages that were not included in the newsstand edition or the original collected editions. The new Omnibus also includes the covers for each chapter, one of the many things missing from my original collected editions - this annoyed me as a kid.

Comparing the original collected editions I have from my childhood to the new presentation in the Omnibus is almost like comparing VHS to Blu-Ray. This story arc is far, far from new for me but reading this again in one volume, with the addition of many extras not included in previous collections adds a new perspective to a story I have read many times over the years. This edition shall undoubtedly become a treasured keepsake in my library, one I will enjoy for many years.

This handsome volume collects the entire saga in 1,124 pages of over-sized, brilliant art reproduction. One great gift I received for Christmas was the impressive, massive, beautiful Death and Return of Superman Omnibus. What I'll be reading over the next several days.
