When I first read the Death of Superman, I thought Doomsday was an ok villian at best withnothing to go for him except that He was powerful enough to kill Superman. But when Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey came out I was blown away by everything in that story, Superman's portrayal was on point, the overall story was well done, and it took a plot device of a villain and gave him LOTS of substance and appeal, and a cool backstory. From them on I was a Doomsday fan, he was one of the best new Villains (along with Hank Henshaw: the Cyborg). DD turn from a plot device to a force of nature in H/P. Plus making him that nasty in the story they also gave him an awesome death, by sending him to the end of time, It left me wondering of DD could come back from that. Doomsday Wars was also a pretty good story for Doomsday, but not as good as H/P.
I'm totally disappointed that in the past few year they pussified DD to where he's nothing more than cannon fodder for the bad writers (Jeph Loeb) and the current ones who write Superman now. Anyone agree?
