About this Collection

This 2025 hardcover omnibus commemorates the 30th anniversary of the landmark Superman storyline that shook the comic world. It collects the complete saga of Superman's battle with Doomsday, his death, the reign of four replacement Supermen, and his eventual return, gathering issues from the early 1990s across the Superman family of titles. The volume includes the core story plus a wealth of anniversary-related bonus material, presenting the epic in a definitive collected edition.

In "The Life of Superman," Dan Jurgens delivers a poignant and action-packed chapter in the legacy of the Man of Steel, as Jon grapples with the truth about his father’s past sacrifice. With Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding’s dynamic art bringing the emotional weight and high-stakes battles to life, the story unfolds when a terrifying new threat—Doombreaker, a monster wielding Doomsday’s powers and more—strikes Metropolis, forcing Superman into a fight that echoes history.
