The quality of the paper stock and general build of DC’s omnis looks like they have an edge over Marvel at the moment. Thanks Omar, hope you have a Catwoman omni overview ready to go!

It helps they print far fewer per year than Marvel does.

So glad that I finally got a copy of this, I was so pissed that I missed the 2019 printing. Omar’s videos have made me want to buy more and more omnis and absolute editions. Surely DC should be considering printing more Superman omnis. Keep throwing hints their way Omar!

You rebuying this omni multiple times is like DC re-telling the death of Superman story, it will never end! :D Yes on comic shops and that fun era of hanging out, talking shop, and finding out info. Great times!

Let’s hope we get an omnibus or two that fils in the gaps between Vol 4 Superman HC and Death Omnibus. All we have thus far is just Exiles Omnibus

Would absolutely kill for some "Triangle Era" Omnis bridging those years, definitely.

They missed a great opportunity to do a really minimalist sleek cover design by simply putting the red dripping Superman logo on the front to represent death, and then the silver Superman logo on the back to represent the return. Nothing else is needed, just a solid black backdrop. Would've been dope.

I REALLY hope DC sticks with their current logo for a long time to come. It feels like it’s the most simple/iconic/recognizable logo they’ve had since the logo that they had in the 80’s and 90’s.

Took much hate for this review! Thanks for showing it Omar. I have been looking forward to this one for a while. I remember trying to collect all the single issues of Reign of the Superman as a kid. The GL issue was the only one I was missing

Got my copy Monday. The stories might not be the best but it's still an iconic and beautiful book.

Really love CBG Comic Buyer's Guide back in the 80s - Those promo posters they would include from time to time were classic! Still have the Walt Simonson posters! Thanks for the video!

Received ine a few weeks ago and it is still sealed. This era with the diamond of the covers is my second favourite after byrne's super. What I remember of this story the events run fast and questions are asked with answers as well. I would recommend this storyline to anyone. Thanks for the review.

Mullet superman has and always will be my favourite design for superman. 100% unironic. I wish he'd have another mullet phase. I think the reason I enjoy that design so much is because my Dad bought me a mullet superman action figure while he was away on work, this was when I was really young (was a small child in the 90's), and it became my favourite toy as a kid. Lot of sentimental value for me. Plus I'm a sucker for mullets and other 90's comic trends (leather jackets/bomber jacket, etc.)

Let the record reflect, that as of Feb of 2024 I ordered this and it was a sewn binding that made a perfect “I”

I ended up pre-ordering my copy and grabbing a copy of Superman in Exile a few months ago to set me up for the inevitable.

Such an epic and genre defining Superman story. This omnibus edition looks awesome!

Yeah I was looking at this but I already have it in the 5 trades anyway awesome video.👍🏾🤘🏾

You had me at Jurgens and Simonson

Now we need the gap between Exile and this. Superman/Doomsday to conclude, giving us Doomsday orgin. And do I need to even mention John Byrne MOS.

Getting this today. First superman stories I'll read. Excited

Just got mine today! Looking forward to reading it this weekend, it's been a while. Gonna join the chorus here, DC needs to start printing more Superman omnis, it's shameful that there aren't more available.

Awesome! Didn't want to miss this printing. :)

already got my copy 3 days ago. my biggest OMNI yet

I finally pulled the trigger and bought this. I wasn't intetested and bought the trade paperback but since this included the foldout page I thought it would be cool to have. I do like the newspaper print style that's found in the paperbacks though.

I have this pre ordered for a long time, can't wait

Great overview as always Omar !!! Really need to upgrade to the new Death and Return of Superman Omnibus I have the 2nd printing but sadly it's starting to fall apart.

Got the first printing long ago. Missed out on the 2019 printing but if this printing lays better then things worked out. My copy is on the way. Only read the iconic death issues as well as the first issues of the Reign of Supermen arc back in the day.

Just bought this Omnibus got it today. I’m amazed how thick it is. An love the artwork

For absolutely no reason, I'm convinced this wouldn't have happened without Omar. Lol Thanks Omar

Already got mine from one site at 52% off last week & received it at the end of the same week.

Omar sextuple dipping on Death and Return of... I love it. Finally got around to reading this before the end of 2023. It's funny how I misremembered details from the issues that I used to own. Now as far as hair goes, Longshot had a real mullet compared to Supes. And how they got away without giving him a longer beard.

I want more superman omnis... Spiderman, X-Men, Batman, Conan, etc, etc get SO MANY omnis, but no love for Supes

Thanks for the overview as I was curious how it compared to the 2019 edition. Got my copy last week and looking forward to checking it out.

Hey Omar, never really been into Superman that much, more of a Batman guy, but had to get this. Very nice edition, nice quality, wish all the DC Omni's were this good!

Received my copy this week. This is one heavy book. Would a DC Comics Presents Omnibus, lots of fun Bronze Age Superman stories.

got this last month..such a big volume book but still few stories were incomplete.. like story of Sasha what happened after personality stealing incidents and Annuals that come in between about Aliens also seem incomplete

I just received my copy today and it's a monster of a book. Amazing quality and I love it!

Wow, I didn’t care to buy the original 2007 printing because I remember thinking the contents seemed incomplete at the time but this is the first I’m learning that they went as far as eliminating Matrix scenes from the story. Just when I thought I could put my hatred of Didio’s DC behind me, this somehow reactivated my anger 15 years later. I *hated* DC’s dismissal of Matrix/Linda. Glad DC is finally figuring out how to collect their classics.

Love this storyline, one of my favorite storylines of the 1990s from DC comics (other than batman Knightfall). I have the death of superman and return of Superman in trade paperback but I would grab it if I didn't already have it (in the "crappy paperbacks" that Omar talked about earlier but I found those cheap ($5 for death of superman, $10 for return of Superman; glad they're in my collection! Thanks for sharing Omar! If you guys don't have this storyline in your collection I suggest you buy it right now and read it in either this format or the trade paperbacks!

Hey Omar, do you know if any more of these will be getting stocked. This seemed to just disappear within days in the uk ? 😅

I bought the new printing (2022 edition) and mine does bot have the double spread page. Is it missing from just my copy or does 2022 printing does not have that, unlike 2019 printing......help me out, if anyone can

Been waiting for this! 🙌

When looking this up on Amazon it mentions it's part of a 3 book collection. Is that just an error or are there 3 OMNIBUS's for this arc? Was hoping if I picked this up it would cover the entire story and arc vs having to buy multiple collections.

Sorry to ask here as it's unrelated to this omni, but is the Moon Knight By Huston, Benson & Hurwitz Omnibus already sold out with all the usual retailers like cgn and in stock trades? It's still on amazon but the price is getting higher and higher. It hasn't even been a month and that thing is close to being gone. Take care and peace everyone.

I’ve never read it 🙋🏻‍♂️but I’m waiting for my copy 👊🏼

Epic cover. Looks awesome!

16:37 👀

I haven’t read this but I’m planning to pick this up in the 30th anniversary steel. Is there a certain reading order I should read these in?

I was there back then too… this event made the actual news! It was huge! Imagine CNN having a segment on Dark Nights Metal… sounds ridiculous now, but it was a very real thing back then. It was an amazing time to be a comic book reader. That said, I think they kept the long hair for too long after he came back. When Clark was first “rescued” from the rubble, it was revealed that the whole thing took like 3 weeks… no one wondered how Clark’s hair grew too fast. It was so strong, but it was hampered a bit by dumb stuff like that. What I really love about the arc, even today: -the Cadmus stuff in Funeral for a Friend -Superman #80 might be my favorite single issue of all time (destruction of Coast City). The desperation of Eradicator and Superboy against Henshaw was so well done. It’s my favorite Jurgens pencil work, as well. -The scope of its impact on the Green Lantern Corps -The street level stuff in Man of Steel Also, bring back triangle numbers for events!!

I'm confused, is there a difference between the actual content of this and the 2019 edition? Also, Superman did NOT have a mullet when he came back, he just had long hair!

I've been checking the Amazon since 31st but for some reasons, it's still unavailable. Waiting eagerly to get my hands on this omni. The trades are cool but this looks smokin' hot.

Damn ... Now have to buy this gem

DC better at reprint than Marvel, at least for the paper quality. Take notes Marvel !

Got mine three weeks ago.

really debating on updating [I have the 2019 ver]....for me it's all about the spine. If it's any better, then maybe. If not, definitely gonna pass.

Quality book. Much more so than the thinner omnibuses from Marvel recently. And the back of the book is stating the truth. The death of Superman was on the news, in newspapers, etc. The hype for the Return was a big deal among comic fans back then. Epic story with an epic payoff.
