This is a really awesome time for fans of comic books. 🙂

The Man of Steel Reboot Issues began around 1986 after Crisis on Infinite Earths has eliminated the DC Universe.

Could not find on Amazon. I’m in if it gets a release.

^ Buck, only just got announced today so it may take some time before it’s listed. In any case, looking forward to it! I have my custom-bound run of this but for this kind of deluxe presentation I’ll happily double-dip.

Very cool. I’ve always wondered why Byrne’s Man of Steel mini has never received a Deluxe Hardcover Edition? Here’s hoping his New Gods/Fourth World run receives an Omnibus!

Needs to also include Byrne’s background/set-up material: World of: Kryptom (Mignola), Smallville and Metropolis – each 4 issue mini-series and helpful if this is to be a definitive series.

This is going to cost $125.00??? Count me out. It’s mt favorite retelling of the Superman origin thus far, but not worth that much.

Dale Garland, check the description. It reprints 42 separate issues, some of them Giants. $125 is reasonable.

Oh wow! You’re correct. I hadn’t noticed that or the huge number of pages (1,152). While it is definitely a better investment, sadly it’s still out of my prices range…at the moment. Hopefully in the near future
