This is the most special episode I will ever make, because this was the exact story that made me a comics fan for life.

The Death Of Superman, published in 1992, is the story of The Man of Steel's fight with the monster Doomsday, a rampaging berserker of destruction who cannot be reasoned with, and who smashed the Justice League with ease on his path to Metropolis. Superman gives his all in the battle and faces a noble end for a hero, but that's only the beginning of the real story.

Funeral For A Friend is the 8 issues following the famous Death issue, and it shows the absence Superman's passing leaves in the lives of everyone who knew him, and everyone in the world, now A World Without A Superman. It's some of the best dramatic work ever published in a superhero comic, a chance for the creative teams on what is essentially a book about punching things to stretch their storytelling muscles and take on some deeper subject matter as we see Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, The Kents, Supergirl, Lex Luthor, The Justice League, and the city of Metropolis reshape their lives around the large new hole in them, and we see how people try to live up to the legacy of heroism he left behind, as well as the earthly struggle over Superman's body.

The Return of Superman will follow this part in some time, but not immediately after this upload.
