About this Collection

This 2012 hardcover collects the aftermath of the 'Doomsday' saga, following Superman's return from the dead as he confronts a new, deadlier version of his iconic foe. The volume gathers issues from the Superman family of titles, including Action Comics, Superman, and Superboy, as well as the one-shots that tie into the 'Reign of Doomsday' crossover event.

In "Reign of Doomsday," Superman faces a twisted alliance of enemies as Lex Luthor, fused with a Phantom Zone entity, unleashes a wave of forced happiness before turning his full rage toward the Man of Steel. Meanwhile, Doomsday has captured several heroes, only for Superman and his allies to discover the shocking truth: they’ve been battling not one, but three distinct Doomsday clones—each wielding unique abilities—while the real Doomsday remains imprisoned. Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Pete Woods, Jesús Merino, and Dan Jurgens, with bold colors by Blond and Brad Anderson and sharp lettering by Rob Leigh, this 2012 issue features a striking cover by Kenneth Rocafort.
