It was pretty thrilling to me. Superman felt slightly out of step with some of the edgier comics of the time so I completely bought that DC would kill him off. I thought the buildup leading to Doomsday’s first appearance was well done. The battle was exciting to me because it was something I’d never seen before. Really good storyline for me! I’m a pre-Crisis fan but the late 80’s - 1993 was an amazing time to read Superman. Comics had just enough sophistication to really engage me but hadn’t become the slow paced “tv scripts’ they would end up being. These still felt like “comic books”. I thought the titles lost focus after Superman came back. I never enjoyed the titles as much again.

A tremendous event to me!
