  <default_description> &lt;I&gt;The Death of Superman&lt;/I&gt; was a 1992 stunt that turned out to be DC's bestselling &lt;I&gt;Superman&lt;/I&gt; comic ever. The massive 11-issue crossover among four different series (&lt;I&gt;Superman&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;Superman: The Man of Steel&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;Action Comics&lt;/I&gt;, and &lt;I&gt;Justice League of America&lt;/I&gt;) introduces an unstoppable alien named Doomsday who creates a path of destruction on his way to the heart of Metropolis and whom Superman must stop at any cost.  It's of interest as a milestone of the Superman mythos (though of course the outcome didn't last), but casual fans might be underwhelmed by the unfamiliar villain and the unfamiliar Justice League (with Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and other minor heroes rather than the traditional lineup), the drawn-out story (by Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, and Roger Stern), and the ordinary art (by Jurgens, Jon Bogadanove, Tom Grummett, and Jackson Guice). &lt;I&gt;--David Horiuchi&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>
