The omni will be PKJ's entire run

Some people do not understand this for some reason.

Dc hates Superman omnis.

Forsure this paperback is sold out on InStock already from what I see.

@@Milskaten Yeah, I had to get it on Amazon

Deluxe would be awesome but with DC they would never release the second volume! Or they would wait 2-3 years to release it… except it would be a standard sized TPB where the first volume was a deluxe hardcover! Oh, DC.

@@maddevil7474 but this is complete story so we dont need to wait for Vol 2

I can't recommend this saga enough, give it a shot if you've got the chance. Phillip Kennedy Johnson does this rare thing of taking the original pathos of a character, from their first appearances decades ago, and supplants it in a modern context. The Warworld Saga is a clearcut example of additive storytelling, where it feels like a natural evolution of the character spanning all the way back to the late 30s. He even takes time out of every issue to give a "Superman moment" where you can get a deeper understanding of why he is the way he is, and how others perceive him. These moments from issues 1035 (I own the page of it, my first piece of original comic art!) and multiple from 1038 will forever be my defining Superman moments. This is the kind of book that can make people Superman fans. One of my best friends just never understood the character, and he read some of this saga one day and texted me with a simple "I finally get it." If you like good storytelling then you've gotta check this out whenever you get the opportunity!

To me, Superman weakened was actually a bad sign when reading the beginning of the story. It's a recurring problem of writers not knowing how to write for Superman without somehow taking his powers away or using kryptonite. I did enjoy the story though.

I like compenduims. And DC are starting to release more bigger books like Omnis and Absolutes as of late.

I have been buying the recent DC compendiums, I've had zero issues with spines. They're nice and flexible. If you don't intentionally set out to crack them, I don't think you will. It's not like the old days with those cheap ass Image compendiums.

Compendiums are more affordable and still decent enough quality to be pleasant to read. I love omnis too but I can't really complain about the current compendium output.

Donald you said the truth, no doubt about where Jon gets his good looks from

It's not an event, it's just the on going Action Comics.

Happy new year!!

Yeah, it shows how the future state issues were writen before the real story.

I always saw the FS issues to be a thematic prologue, or a PKJ's mission statement for the character as opposed to an actual piece of the story. Just like the House of El stories in FS and one of the annuals, they're more akin to legends and myths than a specific, present story. With that's said, FS Worlds of War issue 2 may be my single favorite issue of Superman ever. It's inspiring and revolutionary in a way that few other things are able to achieve for me.

The only release of it is a black and white copy from 2011. Not much point doing an overview of a book thats been out of print for a decade.

Omar will quote T'Challa: "We don't do that here" 😅

@@marcelo-ramos oh not omar sorry i dont do that therev 😄👍

Superman has never looked so hot as in this book! 😍😇

@@vincentimbesi3947 Jurgens draw him superhot in the death of Superman.

😭

Actually. Yes.

@@NearMintCondition Great, thank you!

New 52 Superman has some good and bad moments. The issue I had was too many crossovers between multiple Superman and Sup family books. It’s good but just be aware some collections double dip a lot. Swamp Thing and Animal Man have a good cross over in the earlier issues that’s really good. Both series are solid reads.

I think most people don't like New 52 Superman. I personally think it's mostly mediocre, but the last part is good. The last days of Superman and Lois and Clark take you to Rebirth, which is really good.

The main Superman title during the N52 is hit or miss, very inconsistent. I'd say Action Comics is the better title all around between Morrison's run starting it, and Greg Pak taking over for the second half (you can ignore the Lobdell arc in between honestly), it ends up being a really solid and underrated book by the time it's all said and done. Of course The Final Days of Superman finishes out each of the N52 Super-books. That one's super solid, and mixed with the Lois & Clark book by Jurgens, it leads into the Rebirth runs of Tomasi/Gleason's Superman and Jurgens' Action really well.

It's a thick trade, just as a compendium.
