SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
This image really shows how difficult this fight is going to be for Superman. The fact that he has to put his entire body into it and Doomsday is taking it definitely shows that this foe is unlike any other Superman has faced, particularly in sheer physical hardiness.
This book was one of the original Universal 9.8's that I had when I started the work on this set. That first copy stayed in my Base Set until I got it to 100 percent completion and was just short two 9.8’s. I love this cover and jumped at the chance to own this Signature Series book when the opportunity arose, I reholdered this book in December 2020.
This Signature Series 9.8 was eventually outdone by the lone 9.9 copy of this book... which has it's own slot in this Custom Set!
In the spirit of seriously tough impacts I have included a sericel from SDCC 2007. This was done by Warner Bros Animation and was limited to 200. This ended up being the second to the last time (so far) that my Wife and I attended SDCC. The last (so far) ended up being in 2008. We actually had tickets to the 2009 SDCC but I received orders overseas, so we ended up being able to get a refund. We were then overseas for four years straight, and then assigned to Florida before I got out of the Marine Corps in 2014. We have been back through San Diego since then but haven't made any serious plans to try to make it to SDCC. From what I understand, it has become really difficult to get tickets. We eventually made it a habit to go for the entire weekend, as well as preview night, but I do remember the first time we went we were able to show up Saturday and buy tickets for the day, I think those days are long gone. When we got this sericel I think Bruce Timm only signed 20 of them and, as you can see, we were able to obtain one of those. I included it here because I think both this comic book cover and this sericel capture how brutal this fight was. I don't think they have ever done the Death of Superman story justice in animation (including the recent two-part Death and Reign movies) but this sericel is still pretty cool.
