Defense of the Death of Superman

I feel like I have to continue to post a defense towards the greatness that was the Death of Superman storyline.

This was an epic battle. A ferocious fight of titans that cost lives and forced heroes to make sacrifices. You can belittle the saga as much as you would like, but images speak louder than words:

Even here you can see Superman's iron will...he's got help that is hurting him as well, yet he's still ready to go the distance!

And MORE help that's only hurting...

This was a big affront to Superman's efforts throughout his fight with Doomsday...people kept trying to help but only ended up hurting Superman and those who stood in Doomsday's path.

Jimmy's never seen the Big Guy so fired up!

Superman is HURT! Still ready to sacrifice!

Ready to die...

Who is lucky enough to die in their loved one's arms?

BOOM

This is in no way an accurate depiction of the way things went down...it is but a taste. I hope it is a taste that serves to tell you a better, deeper story than the one Max Landis sold you. The truth is that the Death of Superman, the Reign of the Supermen, and the Return of Superman was a saga that was full of depth and emotion. The good FAR outweighed the bad. Sure there was some insanity and craziness, but overall, it was good storytelling. His own rules break the rules. If there are no rules, than there are no rules, thus no criticism.

Boom.

HAD to throw in Smallville's early version of Clark versus Doomsday...HAD TO.
