You sold me... should we also remove the MOS 19 2005 Mattel reprint then? I like with keeping in the 1992-1993 range based on your rationale and the 2005 reprint seems out of place based on that. This book has been removed.

Appreciate the info! Still think the Hunter/Prey books also belong in the 'Superman (Doomsday Death Funeral Return)' set as well. Not sure who originally created the set but it also contains the Death of Superman TPB platinum edition (which goes to JMoses argument above about the Mister Miracle TPB not belonging in the Mister Miracle set). If the TPB is in the set then the Hunter/Prey books should be there as well. To be honest when I first found the set I was disappointed because I was hoping for just a Death set from the Doomsday cameos through Superman 75. Again, going back to the name of the set and considering the context of the Hunter/Prey books I request they be added to the set. Everything after... Doomsday Wars, etc was not a part of this story at all. DC should have just left Doomsday at the end of time as that was pretty cool, and fitting considering his name... Doomsday, end of time, kinda neat The more they messed around with the character after that, the worse it got.

Hello Mollie, I would like to request that these books be added to this set Set: Superman (Doomsday Death Funeral Return) 1) Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey #1, D.C. Comics 1994, Cert # 1229734005 2) Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey #2, D.C. Comics 1994, Cert # 1229734006 3) Superman/Doomsday: Hunter Prey #3, D.C. Comics 1994, Cert # 1229734007 4) Wizard: The Superman Tribute Edition #nn, Wizard Pub. 4/93, Cert # 0804833001 5) Newstime #nn, D.C. Comics 5/93, Cert # 0502341004 Rationale: Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey 1-3 clearly round out and finish the Death and Return of Superman storyline as Superman, suffering from PTSD from his fight with Doomsday, hunts down the monster and finishes the fight started in the Death storyline. All other Doomsday appearances after Hunter Prey #3, where Superman and Waverider throw Doomsday into the end of time, are clearly not a part of this set as at that point Brainiac steals Doomsday's body and starts something completely new and separate from this storyline/set. The Wizard Tribute Edition and Newstime both memorialize the Death of Superman and should be included in this set as there is nowhere else they would logically be placed. Finally, the name of this set is "Superman (Doomsday Death Funeral Return)". These five books seem to clearly fall into these categories of "Doomsday", "Death", "Funeral", and "Return" and should be added here. Thank you! Jayme After much debate, here is what the graders and myself have decided: The Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey #1-#3 will not be included. The graders felt that it was not part of the original Doomsday, Funeral, and Reign and was an after thought sometime later. However, these books can still be added to the Superman Miniseries Set. I will, however, remove the Death of Superman Trade Paperback as trades have always been the source of great controversy among collector's society members and I have no problem removing it. The Wizard: The Superman Tribute also will not be included. The graders also felt that this was a stretch. It opens the door for a lot of more additions that they don't care for, like Advance Comics interview with Mike Carlin, Previews Interviews with Louise Simonson and Dan Jurgens, Previews Interview with Jerry Ordway, Comics Values Monthly Superman Memorial Issue... it's a rabbit hole. Where do we draw the line? The graders did, however, like the idea of the Newstime to be included too. That book has been added.

Hello, I recently received my first book like this as well. The book in question was purchased off of eBay (very high 100% positive feedback Seller) but I was still concerned. Glad I found this thread to explain it. I have also sent in many of my own books and none of them have this loose inner well. I personally don't like the inner well sliding around... makes it feel cheap. Also appreciate the explanation of Newton Rings, I have a few of those as well and this is the first time I saw it explained... makes sense.
