Collecting the epic conclusion to the 'Death of Superman' storyline, this volume brings together the four replacement Supermen—the Cyborg, the Eradicator, Steel, and Superboy—as they confront the true Man of Steel, who has returned from the grave with new powers and a mysterious amnesia. Written by Dan Jurgens, Karl Kesel, and others, it features the pivotal battles that re-establish Superman's place in the DC Universe.
