Taking place after the WORLD WITHOUT A SUPERMAN storyline, this book features the first appearance of four new heroes as well as Superman's return from the dead. Looking to fill the void after the Man of Steel's death, four new heroes appear, all bearing the trademark "S" insignia on their chest and claiming to be Superman. As a cyborg Superman, a teenage Superboy, an extremely violent Superman, and man in a suit of armor all appear on the scene, the world tries to figure out who is for real and who is a hoax.

Reprinting tales of the dread being known as Doomsday just in time for the "Reign of Doomsday" storyline marching its way through the DCU! First, from DOOMSDAY ANNUAL #1, a host of writers and artists look at Doomsday's early rampage through the cosmos before his fateful first encounter with The Man of Steel, guest-starring the Green Lantern Corps, Darkseid and more. Then, in a tale from SUPERMAN #175, the Red Hulk team of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness present a disturbing vision of Doomsday, as the creature is "Jokerized" and reborn as Doomsday Rex!

In the ultimate battle, Superman sacrificed his own life in order to defeat the rampaging alien, Doomsday. But now that the planet is saved, the world must deal with the loss of their greatest hero. Superman's closest allies, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, and Green Lantern gather as they try to come to terms with the death of their friend.
