This is a great era of Superman comics, it's basically Superman, The Soap Opera. Every issue is a done in one and you get a comic filled with a huge supporting cast and the subplots bleed over from title to title. Its something that I don't think modern comics can do at all, its like forgotten knowledge. DC need to reprint this whole era, 1986 - 1999 into omnis!

@bryansteele832 Жыл бұрын

It was super impressive what they did back then.The comic "52" got a lot of praise for being a weekly book, but for whatever reason people were known to the the "Triangle era" or Superman that lasted 11 years.

Exile is amazing. One of a handful of Superman stories that completely showcases who the character is. Superman isn't perfect, he feels the burden of his powers and his moral responsibility so intensely that at times he's a liability to himself. In a lot of ways, he's the most decent 'human' being in DC Comics. Kal-El isn't a hero because he's Kryptonian... Clark Kent is a hero because he was raised by Ma & Pa Kent.

When I was a kid in the Netherlands in the early 90's, you did not have as much Superman comics as they had in the United States. But they did release collections in a omnibus format. So I had two paperback Superman omnibus comics (still have them) that had about half of the stories that are in this Exile edition, but sometimes out of order and missing parts. I've ordered this new hardcover and I am looking forward to finally reading the complete story in the correct order. Incidentelly, one of those Dutch omnibuses uses the exact same cover as this collection, so I really like the cover choice!

@ghostknight1865 2 жыл бұрын

I had no idea this was "less popular". I LOVE the early years of post-Crisis Superman, so many great stories, a true supporting cast you cared about, and genuine stakes. The Exiled storyline is an absolute classic. I've been reading the Man of Steel HCs collecting the Byrne reboot, and with vol 4 being the final one there is a big gap between that and this Omni which I hope gets collected.

This was one of the earliest Omnis I bought. Death and Return hadn't been reprinted yet and aside from the old school Golden Age stuff, there were literally no Superman books. Picked it up, read it almost right away, and like you, I loved it. Just good, wholesome story telling. Very enjoyable and underrated. Loved the art and even the supporting character stuff was very good. Glad to see these Omni reviews return. Yes, I totally understand loosing the fire to read them, it can come and go for sure. Phases.

This has been on my want list for awhile. I need to pull the trigger. The cover for Action comics annual #2 should have been the cover to the omnibus. The "Gladiator" superman by George Perez is fantastic. So many strong stories during this time period.

WWH took from Superman on WW in this story. Great omni. Great Superman run that kick off the beginning of the end of his death. But we're still missing one more omnibus in between this and Death & Return. "Panic In the Sky."

Loving these review Gem. Your knowledge of the characters, and honesty are great and really make the reviews great. They don't feel as long as they actually are. I didn't know this Omni existed, it has to go on my list. I wish I could have snagged the Death and Return of Superman when it was reprinted but I just missed out.

I did go down stairs and pulled the DJ off to check it out lol. I’m on Batman ZS and GC Omni 2 right now. But I might have to jump into that one next. When you got so many Omni’s it hard to pick which one you want to read next lol. But hey that !zombies Omni I got off you yesterday on whatnot. You should do a overview on that haven’t found shit on that book. I just bought it off you because it was a DC book 😆 even if you have to review the one I bought before you ship. Great review

I think it's an omnibus that's a bit difficult to recommend because you truly have to have context in order to appreciate it. You can't just jump in: if you haven't read Byrne's run and Invasion, there are so many subplots in this omnibus that you'll get lost and give up. However, it makes it a very, very good omnibus for people who enjoyed the stories that led to it!

This was either the first or second omni that I ever read and I loved it. Underrated book. Just wish there was another omni or two between this and the Death and Return of Superman since the cliffhanger at the end of this omni really leaves you wanting more.
