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

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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
