Editorial Reviews
Review
"Jerry Ordway is the unsung hero of the Superman team." -- Jake Franklin
"Roger Stern [is] probably the best super-hero writer of the 80's and 90's." -- Paul Greer
"From 1986 to around 1993, the Superman titles were the most consistently well-written comics around." -- Matt Hawes
"As controversial as Byrne's final story was, it led to some wonderful stories which seriously examined the decision made by Superman." -- Sean Hogan
"I want this line of trades to keep going. Getting as much of the Post-Crisis era of Superman into collected edition is important ... we've been very fortunate with the collections that have come out recently and I want to see that luck continue. [November] can't get here fast enough." -- Michael Bailey
"[The] Stern-written chapters were always top-notch. Here's the awesome thing about Roger Stern ... I never noticed his name .... he didn't have the tropes that made me think "Who wrote this?" [He] let the characters take center stage. But one day, I looked at my collection and noticed that I had a LOT of Roger Stern-written comics, and that with very few exceptions, I unabashedly loved them all." -- Duy Tano
"It's taken more than a decade, but DC's finally giving us the final volume of John Byrne's 1980s run on Superman. I'd love to see this series keep going with the next wave of creative teams, which included folks like Jerry Ordway, Roger Stern, Dan Jurgens, and Kerry Gammill, among others. The whole 'Gangbuster' storyline that bridges the gap between the end of Byrne's run and the 'Exile' storyline (where George Perez briefly joined the fold) made for some solid reading, too." -- Andrew W. Farago
From the Back Cover
Ever since Clark Kent learned that he was a strange visitor from the planet Krypton, he believed himself to be the last survivor of a doomed civilization. That is about to change when he discovers the existence of other Kryptonians. Now, after seeing the destruction they have wrought, Superman must battle his own people and bring them to justice. And who, or what, is the mysterious being who calls herself Supergirl?
Famed for his runs on Marvel Comics' The Uncanny X-Men and The Fantastic Four, John Byrne reimagined Superman for a new age before going on to chronicle the exploits of Wonder Woman, the Doom Patrol and the Demon for DC Comics. This volume presents the epic conclusion to his critically acclaimed run on the Man of Steel, with contributions from comics creators Jerry Ordway (THE POWER OF SHAZAM!), Roger Stern (LEGIONNAIRES), Ron Frenz (Spider-Man), and more!

The volume also offers some not-so-great stories written by Jerry Ordway, who does his best but is honestly an accountant trying to tell superhero stories, plus the first of Roger Stern's stories for this version of Supreman. Stern is an accurte, althought somewhat predicable writer, and Ron Frenz is an aquired taste (at least in my opinion), so I suppose I will give the next volume a try (if there will be one).
