"Is it a bird?... Is it a plane?... It's Superman!"
Death and Reign of the Supermen - two series from the 1990s that can hardly be called groundbreaking.
Finally, DC decided to let its icon die.
The dramatic battle against Doomsday, scenes of Superman's funeral, and the appearance of four "new Supermen" who want to continue his legacy. Waiting for the next issue of the comic and learning the whole story now is probably comparable to waiting for the next episode of "Stranger Things" or "Fallout".
I highly recommend both of these series, as they had a huge impact and profoundly shaped the entire subsequent DC Universe.
Now let's see what other readers think about "Death and the Reign of the Supermen", because for many of them, these stories are unique and important chapters in the DC Universe:
A dynamic continuation of "The Death of Superman". Cyborg and Superboy bring fresh air to the story, and the Kryptonian origin story is captivating until the end.

Rating: 8/10
A brilliantly drawn DC classic. Jurgens and Grummet deliver suspense, action and solid mythology - a must-have for fans of the Man of Steel.
Thomas
Rating: 9/10
An interesting concept with several contenders for Superman's succession. Superboy and his escape from Cadmus are the most exciting, even if not all storylines are equally well developed.

Autumn colors at home – shades that bring peace and warmth
Do you remember autumn from your childhood, when the leaves changed color like a kaleidoscope, and your mom would pull out the pumpkin-colored sweater she'd worn since college? Or those evenings in front of the TV while a storm raged outside, and the lamplight in the house gave everything a warm, amber hue? Those were the days when no one talked about "color palettes" or "color stories"—colors simply existed, as natural as breathing. Today, when we can choose from 50 shades of gray (and no, I'm not talking about THAT book), we sometimes lose track of what truly makes a home feel cozy. At Pillovely, we believe that autumn colors aren't a trend—they're a return to what makes us feel safe. Because "You are someone"—someone who deserves a space filled with colors that snuggle like a grandma's blanket.
