This book collects "The Day of the Krypton Man" multi-part series from the Superman comics and it's what got me into finding out what happened in Superman comics. I don't think I've ever read a full post-Crisis Superman story before this (usually just browse) and this story is good. Read this story and you'd feel like out of the blue, you're in Superman's world. The Kryptonian society is different and in this book, Superman is slowly being changed into an emotionless Kryptonian and surely losing his humanity. Each chapter is rich in story and does not feel rushed nor extended pointlessly. Superman gets a new costume here that is reminiscent of the garbs worn by his race and it does not feel like a gimmick but actually an important part of the story (admittedly, it was what got me reading this story). Except for Lobo, the villains Superman fought are unfamiliar, yet they exude a feeling like we've known them all along. Very few villains these days could bring out such a feeling. Kudos to the writers, too. This book is highly recommended and is so enjoyable it kind of makes you wish the story could be a couple of chapters longer so you could check out Supe's Krypton Man costume.

Awesome storyline, good .......Best artwork I've ever seen and 160 pages all worth reading.

I decided to purchace this Book, When I started my comic colection around the Death of Super Man because I wanted to find out what the Eradicator was in more deapth. This book answered my questions about this part of superman that I feel should be more a part of the story line of Superman.

This comic story reflects on an stoic population who doesn't believe in passion. All Kryptonians have is a sterile world, emotionless society and a culture based on logic.

It reminds me of stoic Vulcans in Star Trek.

The story about the end of Krypton and how its people mange to wipe almost all there existence , and how this device manage to change superman to become a true Kryptonion, with no feelings or desire effecting kent image in the process & with that almost loosing his life when facing a new equal in strength enemy. Interesting indeed , but with all the talk & non feelings envolve make it worth 2 stars in my book
