In 1986, comics history was changed forever when DC Comics recruited the heralded John Byrne to reinvent Superman and the city he calls home.

While Superman is the city's new hero, Clark Kent is still learning how to navigate daily life, especially when he meets the brilliant and beautiful television journalist Cat Grant. Despite the constant chaos in Metropolis, Superman travels to Apokolips to confront the all-powerful villain Darkseid.
This volume collects the classic stories from the birth of a new era for Superman including the Man of Steel #1-6, Superman #1-4, Action Comics #584-587, Adventures of Superman #424-428, and profiles from Who's Who: Update '87.

Enter John Byrne.
As the Man of Steel 6 issue mini series rebooted the Superman continuity, Byrne was able to reinvent Superman a little. He seems a little more sure of himself than past incarnations, and not quite as powerful, helping Byrne craft more suspense than previously found in Superman comics.
Simply put, this is an excellent collection of one of the best Superman runs in DC comics history, it shows a vulnerable yet capable Man of Steel, with interesting and layered villains. Byrne's art is also fantastic, and still stands out all these years later. It's nice to see that a great writer/artist actually stuck with Supes for a significant amount of time, and we finally have an omnibus to prove it.
Would highly recommend for this for anyone curious about Superman

The print quality in the book is top notch on some thick paper.
High quality all around.
