Superman in the 90s


Remember Superman? He's back! In pog form.

I'm on a 90s Superman kick because I've made a lot of snap judgments about the era without having read much of it. So in the last month and half or so I've read about a dozen 90s Superman collections. Here are some quickie reviews, and to spice things up several images of Superman also from the 90s.


Exile - I hate the set up that get him into space, but it's pretty fun once he's there.

Panic in the Sky - Sucks. Imagine Our Worlds At War only shorter and worse.

They Saved Luthor's Brain! - This one's fun, and I love the title.


Death of Superman - Sucks, but I still contend Doomsday is a great monster/design.

World Without a Superman - The funeral issues. Boring.

Return of Superman - A lot of fun, actually.

The Wedding and Beyond - Boring.


The Death of Clark Kent - One of the worst Superman stories ever

Superman Vs the Revenge Squad - Also one of the worst ever

Trial of Superman - Another Superman in space story, and it works too. They really work when they do Superman BIG, shame they didn't more often.

Bizarro's World - Poor take on Superman, EXCELLENT take on Bizarro. Breaks your heart and makes you laugh, he does.

If you guys want a proper in depth review of any of these, just say the word and I'll put one together.

I dunno, I always thought that bad guy during the Death of Clark Kent run looked pretty cool. Conduit? I honestly don't even know why.

Yeah, I'd like to see you do a more in-depth review of all of these. I'd just be curious to hear a little more about why you did or didn't like the ones you did or didn't like.

I guess that's pretty much what a review is, so I guess there really wasn't a need for me to explain it.

I'd like a full review of the Death and Return, Mr Denton sir.

Please.
