More details in the review post tomorrow, but I figured I'd warn anyone who hadn't gotten it yet. Capizzi's bad writing overcomes all possible good points. This is a stinkburger of the highest magnitude.
The core ideas are kept. Doomsday shows up, Superman dies in destroying him. Fake Superman shows up soon after the funeral, turns out to be evil. Superman isn't really dead, just in a deathlike coma, and ends up recovering at the Fortress for a while before coming back and facing the evil clone. They just took out all the non-Superman characters and winnowed Reign down to one replacement instead of four.
In broad strokes, the plot is decent, and a good adaptation. It's the scripting I find so horrible, with attendant bad characterization.

Does it differ strongly from the comic? I like the comic.
