Creative talent from the Return of Superman era return to show some fun glimpses back in Return of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1. They show that the magic of that era is alive and can be revived at any time. Excellent add-ons to the Supermen's first appearances and a great reflection on one of the worst stories the Daily Planet ever ran. Read Full Review

This was comic comfort food for me, going back to a period in comics that feels still new but also classic. 30 years ago! How time flies! I can only hope the price tag didn't keep people away. Read Full Review

A tribute to a time in comics that was a golden era. The art is FAR better than the crap they are cranking out currently. Do yourself a favour and buy this book. Maybe DC will get the hint and put these people in charge of Superman again full time.

This is for those who have been reading comics a while and enjoyed the Reign of Superman time period. A true tribute and a nice dive into all the different types of 'supermen' as well as a nice character dive into Perry White. The art is wonderful and the fact they were able to get back all the original writers to write these follow up tribute stories is amazing. There is so much passion and love for these characters in these stories. Each character is given the love and attention they deserve. Steel is written so well, Superboy is in his heyday. The Eradicator is given his cold respect he warrants. Cyborg gets the tragic fate that he will always end on it seems (now how tragic he actually is is another point entirely). For thos e who read this era this is a much pick up. more

A collection of A-List creative talent returns (pun intended) for five short stories featuring characters they wrote for during the "Return of Superman" era. This is a wonderful tribute to early 90s comics that is the perfect taste of nostalgia for those looking for a trip back to a simpler time. It's an easy and exciting read that reminds readers how great this era looked on the page, but does little else to justify the $9.99 cover price.

Boy, it would have been nice if our heroes talked to the bad guy for just a few minutes instead of just fighting. That "twist" undermines anything good about these overly nostalgic tales of 1993.
