Nice to have all the cross-title appearances gathered in one place!
1.5 rounded down because this became a chore to finish.Me trying to figure out the single issue order: I found a couple of different guides and they sometimes contradicted each other, but I needed this because I'm going to continue reading all of the series's issues after this event.I would go in-depth about the things I hated about this but honestly this is old and I'm probably the only one that would care about my dissection of it.Main reasons I wasn't a fan (these don't apply to every issu...
Well, this was epic, to be sure. But it was all over the place: Superman is fighting Doomsday, he is Doomsday and is fighting General/Senator Lane, he's fighting Doomsday in his head, wait, Doomsday is an anti-hero and we are now fighting Brainiac. And somehow Lois has the telepathic ability to beat Brainiac at his own game. Or something.And what's with the Supergirl story thrown in at the end that really had nothing to do with Doomsday at all?
Good event. There were a few things I could nitpick about, but overall I enjoyed it.
Superman Doomed had the potential to be amazing. But, it never truly realizes its potential. The story arc is huge and the different writers doing the same arc can break the story up (since some scenes are retold from various perspectives).Doomsday is back. Again. Superman fights him and kills him, but gets infected by the Doomsday virus. Superman morphs into a Doomsday-like Superman. Oh and Brainiac is coming. Yeah..that's a lot of stuff going on. Add into this fracas, several different writers...
And so it all ends, not with a bang, but a squabble over failing to water oil a gifted houseplant...This crossover volume was just too damn crossover-y, man.Was it a Doomsday story? eh, not really. I mean, he's in it, and he looks mean as hell...but then in his greatest yet humiliation he gets literally disintegrated and inhaled by Supes, engendering the whole Superdoom thing.A Brainiac story? Umm, kind of? he shows up, anyway. And then won't go away.A story in which both Superman AND Lois Lane
Originally I thought 3 stars but then analyzed a little more and I'm going to up it to 4 (I'm so nice.)It's a really crazy, fun story that is very expansive and builds to a huge near destruction of all kind of climax. There were what I thought a lot of inconsistencies and weird moments but I've have an off few days so there's no telling where my comprehension skills are. (Except for Venus. I know I'm right about how wrong that planet is in this book. So wrong.)My favorite part though was Wonder
Well now! This was surprisingly hard-hitting, fun, and cogent. :) That's not always the case with DC comics.In this case, I really loved the whole idea of Superman getting infected with the Doomsday virus and causing all kinds of havoc. The arc that ended with Brainiac was all kinds of awesome, too. The STORY was pretty fantastic from start to finish.Did I mention that I was surprised? I've liked a number of DC titles before and some arcs were really fun and wild if not always... you know... ful...
This is a worthy successor to the original Death of Superman storyline. It re-imagines the monster Doomsday in a new and refreshing way; in this manner, it truly has become unkillable.I bought and read this as a digital comic on COmixology during one of its sales for a great deal; 500 pages of comics with a 40 dollar value for less than 5 dollars. I initially had reservations regarding this purchase as I perceived the new DC 52 Superman line of books as one of the weakest of its offerings; but i...
Doomsday escapes the Phantom Zone and Superman literally tears him in half. But that's only the beginning, as Clark is seemingly infected by a virus that slowly begins turning him into Doomsday. Meanwhile, the population of Smallville begins succumbing to mysterious comas. This epic story has a massive scope and feels like a pretty complete "kitchen sink" combination of most of Superman's greatest allies (Lois, Lana, Batman, Steel, Supergirl) and enemies (Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Mongul, (view spoi...
pfff what .. the .. *¨%*^$ was this........ it was completely over the top, sometimes difficult to swallow all of it... Nope, better to avoid this and pick up something else!*Drop Mic*
(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: Shoehorned, no flow, too-sprawling but grows, too fat for its clothes, no context, low-focus, resolved by hocus-pocus.
Superman must face threats outside and inside of him! This collected edition includes: Superman: Doomed #1-2, Action Comics #30-35 + Annual #3, Superman #30-31, Superman/Wonder Woman #7-12 + Annual #1, Batman/Superman #11, Supergirl #34-35, making an impressive number of 21 comic book issues for the storyline. Curiously the title of Justice League isn’t used on the event while the team appears during the story.Creative Team:Writers: Greg Pak, Charles Soule, Scott Lobdell & Tony BedardIllustra
If you're a fan of Big Blue, then I think you'll enjoy this one.I'm sort of surprised that this played out as well as it did, to be honest. I was sort of expecting more flashbacks to Krypton or something. But they kept this about Clark, and the story was pretty darn good! Wonder Woman & her relationship with Superman plays a Huge role in this one, and if you were planning on reading Superman/Wonder Woman, Vol. 2...don't. Everything but a Future's End issue is already packed into Doomed, and it
A decent read about what would happen if Superman became Doomsday. Would be better if the stories were more connected. I feel like the story made big jumps forwards and backwards between issues, making for a disjointed read. DC needs to have a heavier hand editorially when it decides to do these big crossovers between titles, to make the story flow better. The various writers and artists really need to sit down for a writers summit before they tackle these stories. You finish one issue on a clif...
Remember The Death of Superman? I don’t recall what happened in it (prolly nothing important) but alls I know is Superman and this Kryptonian monster called Doomsday fisted each other a lot. So those fresh, radical thinkers at DC put down their empty whiskey bottles and decided “hey, before we get fired, why don’t we do The Death of Superman storyline but for the New 52?” - and so we have Superman: Doomed. The New 52 Doomsday is apparently a virus or something because when Superman kills him (ye...
Not bad. Kind of an 'Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink' story.
The wackiest, zaniest, haphazard, and "WTF" inducing Superman story (maybe even superhero story) you will ever read. This is one roller coaster of a story arc, and that is not necessarily a good quality. With that being stated, "Superman: Doomed" had some great moments. Quick breakdown: LIKES(Pros): - EPIC and Sprawling in scope; battles seem potentially world-ending - Huge character cast; Superman's "family" play pivotal roles (i.e. Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Lois Lane, and MORE) - "Super...
What an epic story!So much more than just Doomsday! Action galore. A great lot with Doomsday and tons of other heroes and villains. This story further develops the relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman. Well worth the price.
Poor Greg Pak. Turned in gem after gem at Marvel. Issue after issue. Title after title. Year after year. Nearly going into decades. But Marvel never gave him a top title to romp around with as he chose. DC wisely picked him up and give him their biggest gun right out of the gate. Smart thinking DC. So, how'd he do? Pretty well! SUPERMAN: DOOMED is a creative evolution in the Doomsday story. Doomsdays reappeared a ton of times since he killed Clark back in the 80s and he's pretty much changed fro...
