    In these areas:

    -What do you expect from the story? Are you giving it a fair shot or dismissing it because of previews and Lobdell?

    -What do you expect as far as feats? Slightly relating to the first question, do you think it'll actually be a good story or just a feat fest?

    -Do you think it will have any lasting impact on the DC universe?

    -How involved do you anticipate Batman being?

    -Will Maxima make her return here?

    - I'm going to give it a chance. Previews are like solicits: very misleading. Although I like the previews I saw.

    - Hoping for new feats something surpassing Doomsday very first encounter Pre-52.

    -Impact will probably last a while after all Luthor will probably make sure of that.

    -Minimal lesser than Superman Unchained.

    -Probably not. Maxima maybe can appear in the aftermath though.

    - Was gonna read since the very beginning when I learned about Doomed, previews only got me even more exited; hopefully, Pak and Soule > Lobdell.

    - I’m expecting first in New 52 big Superman’s fight with powerhouse opponent (since Snyder chickened out in Unchained) and some nice showings; expecting good story, because, again, Pak and Soule.

    - Probably yes.

    - Well, Batman/Superman #11 will be the Doomed tie-in, so some Batman’s involvement is expected (hopefully to lesser degree that in Unchained – for once I want to read big Superman event without constantly seeing Batman).

    - Would be nice, but I doubt it.

    • The preview got me interested, After reading it, I thoroughly enjoyed it, much better than i expected. Do check it out.
    • As far as Feats go this was Insane!! In a good way :) But you'll be happy to know it was like 95% well written story 5% feats. That 5% though.....Damn(for both Supes and DD)
    • Too early to tell about an impact on the entire universe,cause here Supes doesn't die but there'll definitely be a huge impact on the superverse.
    • I trust Pak knows how much to and not to include(and prop up) other characters in a Superman focused book(After reading Action 31,I liked how he handled it)
    • Unlikely.

    @ultimatesmfan: Read Action 31 and S/WW 8. Both were great! What did you want to talk about them?

    @jwalser3: first off the art and wroteing is just crap. Second the reason for Doomsday wanting to fight is just yet again crap, it basically he's just hungry whitch is stupid. Third it was already established that Doomsday was a mindless animal that just kills, Lobdell has now made it that he planned all that is happening whitch is yet again crap. The thing where doomsday is evolving to pretty cool and chapters 2 and 3 written by Pak and Soule where good enough to keep me interested in the crossover but Lobdell is just bad.

    Brilliant way to use Doomsday and add a twist to it without recycling old stories. It will only get better and better

    I think since people see Lobdell's name on it, they go in reading biased.

    Man, you must really hate Parasite then. But why is it crap to turn a one dimesional brute into a thinker. It adds to the character making him an even bigger challenge. I also wouldn't say the art is crap, I mean look.

    Then I don't know what to say.

    @jwalser3:

    Good point, but the one shot is a combined effort between Lobdell, Soule and Pak..so people should not be so easily dismissive. Agree about the art too! The drawings on the last 4 pages of the one shot story are amazing...!

    I hadn't heard anything about it before picking it up, can anyone tell me if this is gonna be a one-shot or a series?

    As for the issue, the art was great but the rest was pretty bad..

    I didn't like how weak Doomsday seemed, this is the guy who punched Superman to death and broke Diana's arm with one hit recently. Yet in the comic he just stands around without really throwing many punches, and when the fighting starts to take off it doesn't take long for Superman to literally rip him apart? It doesn't feel right that Supes can take Doomsday in a purely physical fight since that's kinda Doomsdays thing, not to mention that Supes can just rip him apart with barely any build up.. Soule did the same thing with Atrocitus when he got punched out by Guy Gardner with no ring and it's really making me annoyed with him which sucks, since he is a great writer when he doesn't pull this stuff.

    @z3ro180: Why don't you hate Parasite, but hate Doomsday when he is doing the same thing?
