Death of Superman was definitely a good story and an impactful marketing move at the same time. Even the remake of the story years and years later was good. Doomsday was just such a beast of a creature with such weird biology.
regardless of what the intent behind The Death of SUperman is, its a CLASSIC story that really sells what superman is about. It explores what Superman is as a person, how he affects the lives of those around him, be it his friends, his lover, his coworkers, his fans, random people living their lives and even his enemies. I was never a huge superman fan but i became more of one after reading that story, seeing how kindhearted superman was, how much he was willing to do save anyone and everyone, how much his death affects everyone around him, and what he meant to everyone. He was never going to STAY dead, but that's not really the point is it? the death of superman is only one part of the saga.
There's a clip on UA-cam from this era of Harlan Ellison tearing apart the notion: "Hasn't this happened before?" 2:57 And I guess fans and creators felt the same way.

Not sure why you brought in Doujinshi, unless it's just a pet idea of yours. There's a long history of underground and self-published comics in the U.S. since the 1960s, and I don't see how Death of Power is related to the Japanese scene.
@ in the comics, I think the creater killed him off, just because of the movie…. I need to do more eesearch, the movie made 90million off a low budget,, I
@@SamArt6607 yeah Krumb is a darn contrarian like Alan Moore. I do love that movie. If you get a chance watch every movie Ralph Bakshi ever made. Besides Cool World.

If the writers and artists were truly so free and in charge of creative decisions, why was intellectual property and ownership so fought since the 60? Marvel and DC (Marvel in particular) are notorious for their constricting mandates and demands. Marketers abd investors have ruled mainstream comics since the get go.

This thing is more Bizarre than Bizarro
Great stuff Cova! Loved the Kayfabe connection. Excellent video as always
I recently met Kirt a couple months back. Really nice guy and an amazing artist.
For those you are short sighted its a freaking RULE! Whatever brings money never stays dead for long,simple as that ppl!!!
That looks like artwork from "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark".
Doomsday was a hyped up version of the Hulk.
Doomsday is still vastly superior to the food mascot's little brother. And no, i will not be arguing.
@@RompulusI feel like doomsday is a force then a character
Hulk gets to do cool ideas
He did come back- with a mullet.
Looooove Kirt's work! Great vid as usual Cova!
I just got inspired to go back to making my own comics like I did in high school. I don’t like restrictions on my work either.
RIP Ed Piskor
I can't believe he killed himself :(
If you suicide ever crosses your mind, I would rather hear your story than have to speak at your funeral.

Downloaded your comic. So good. Thank you for creating and sharing.
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
3:21 Charlie reference
Holy crap, he does look and sound a little bit like Penguinz0.
Stuff like this makes me dread when Superman becomes public domain
Shut up every character should be public domain
Stuff that you won't be forced to interact with if you're not interested
i like that since they dont use the actual names they cant get sued
Question: since he's using copyrighted characters how is he making money without getting sued?
Look up Parody law.
@@Covaslookout cheers

Kirt, the creator of Death of Power said he was influenced by mangas and doujinshi when making this comic. That’s why I brought it up.
@@Covaslookout Okay, I appreciate the reply. Thanks!
I remember reading the entire comic over a decade ago.
X-Rated Superman? With Big Barda?
I actually did one of these 12 years ago back uploaded to UA-cam as an audio drama but the higher ups at UA-cam definitely do not want it up
Oh, God, I remember that one hideous villain who tried to do that.
Which comic is the thumbnail from?
Death of Power is an indie/underground comic.
7:50 What's his aslume name?
7:48 what's this guy's name? like, you can't just show me a batman parody and expect me to take it normally
Fritz the cat died
I didn’t even know he was sick…

8:32 the pokemon doujishi is crazy.
What are you referring to?
@sebastianuglyrat the one on the top right
This was not the first time Superman died
honestly, edgelord shock crap. solid art around a waste of time. does make me want to check out his horror stuff.
This is truly inspiring
Can you do the same way with indie animation
I wonder what would have happened if he never came back, in both comics and the real world
I created a universe that diverges from DC at that point, with Superman never coming back
Click bait
Is that a female robin in the thumbnail?

1:20 fem what?!
Wonderman from SNL then
Such a cool remix/remake
It look pretty but I am not sold on this
What x-rated comic?
Death of Power.
@@spormlastname267where can read online or free?
Man, superhero comics from corporate owners just suck shit
The early '90s was a horrible time for comics, and the death of Superman was a nasty, venal scam. It deserves whatever mockery it gets.
It's my favorite superman comic because superman gets his ass beat B)
Should have kept Supes dead. Boring character, imo.
Back when writers made the decisions not markething people or worst DEI advisors...
What is bro yapping about
