I read Roger Stern's Death of Superman novel when it came out, way back in '93. It was pretty forgettable. Denny O'Neil's retelling of Knightfall had some good moments, including an ending that was surprisingly ambiguous about what came next. Rucka's No Man's Land novel benefited from his skill as a full time novelist, but lost some of the immediacy of the original. And I couldn't get into Maggin's Kingdom Come novel, which strayed very far from the comic.
