Doomsday is not dead, nor doth he sleep, but he shall fail while Supes prevails [ha!]
Yeah, Doomsday isn't dead and with what Superman finds out about him, it appears impossible that Kal-El will be able to defeat him again.

My Thoughts: |
I really enjoyed this. Which came as a surprise to me because I remember it being the weakest of the 4 books and hence "remembered" not liking it nearly as much. Man, me and my Remembering.
While it was much shorter than Return of Superman, it still managed to pack in a lot of info and action. The Cyborg is back as well and sadly, his part was WAY too short and was almost a plot device just to keep him around for later use. That was to bad because I think the Cyborg is one cool bad guy.
I think my nitpick was how Superman kept trying to deal with Doomsday. With the revelation of Doomsday's evolving nature, it seemed kind of stupid that Superman just kept on hitting him, just like in the previous encounter. Find a blackhole and toss him into one of those. Mother Computer's solution of sending him to the end of the universe and time, where Entropy would destroy him, felt like a copout but at the same time really manifested just how powerful and dangerous Doomsday was.
The action was good. Even while I was mentally tsk, tsk'ing Superman for just hitting Doomsday, it was still pretty cool. And Superman's little Kryptonian battle gear, sword and all, definitely made the visuals better. Nothing like Superman as a knight.
