"Wow, Doomsday, you sure are tough. Almost popped that blood capsule there w/ that last shot. THOOM! BOOM! WHAPAMOON! Sheesh. Get one energy blast already. Eff this crap - I'm bored, Jurgens is bored, Stern is bored, Louise is k-stiff, I don't want to know about Carlin, and DC could use the cash. I'll just take a siesta for a couple of months. Besides, I always wanted to grow a mullet."

(I think this is a contributor to the "Superman as more or less immortal" take we have now, what with Morrison's "He lives in the sun eight hundred centuries from now" and whatnot -- there was never that assumption before, that Superman was exceptionally long-lived and bulletproof to old age.)

They missed some great opportunities with Magneto this time around. They could've done a couple different cool things. For example, Morrison had Magneto using nano machines, right? They could've said that he had nanos in his blood that he programmed to rebuild his body in the event of severe injury/death. They could've done some dramatic thing with Magneto bursting out of his grave!
The other thing, which is an idea from a guy on Barbelith, was that Magneto could be with Jean Grey in the White Hot Room. They have some kind of philosophical discussion, and Jean is moved to resurrect him. She returns to life with the man who murdered her. She has forgiven Erik, but the rest of the X-Men refuse to accept him. He has once again to be Good Xorn Erik, but the X-Men's general refusal to let go and forgive him, to accept that the Phoenix has "burned away what does not work" in him makes him lose it again, and return to his megalomaniacal Magneto ways.

Someone here (hi!) really needs to stop equating "flipping pages" w/ "reading". (Though that sounds like an extrapolation of a scene Claremont & Bolton stuck in an early issue of Classic X-Men, where Jean first encounters the Phoenix on the space shuttle.)

The DC One Million miniseries/crossover event (conceit: the series takes place "one million issues from now," i.e. the 853rd century) -- main series and concept by Grant Morrison, crossover issues in all the DC titles -- had Superman living in the sun, his new Fortress of Solitude. When he came out, he was all golden, pumped up on vitamin D, I guess. (E? A? The sunlight one.)

Actually, I'd love to see a comic -- preferably by Morrison, wouldn't have to be -- that answers that question exactly, what was Superman up to? Hibernating? Thinking a lot? Hanging out with the Justice League of the Sun? Did he fall in love with some of those solar creatures Robert Forward or David Brin or someone came up with?
xpost; Captain Marvel (the Shazam one) was still around, and there were new versions of most other people -- one million clones of Superboy, a new Wonder Woman, a Flash who'd hopped over from the past (but our future), a Batman and a robot Robin ...

Maybe some of his pals from the 850th century are still kicking around. Q-Tus, Ectolord, Samantha Nutro, Wisdo The Elder, Premo Man maybe?

Oh, damn! Sorry, Tep! Hope it wasn't a spoiler for you - I assumed, since it happened over a year ago, that it was semi-common knowledge.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at, Matthew - it wasn't a death, it was just another FF Adventure, like chasing Annhilius down in the Negative Zone, or rescuing Franklin & HERBIE from Mephisto, or popping off to help the Black Panther with programming his VCR. And it was really sweet (not XTREME sweet, but awww sweet). It was a nice way to reinfornce the "we are family" aspect of the FF - that they'll go to any length to get each other out of sticky wickets whenever possible.

slutsky's Superman ideas -> gold. You'd think the "I can't leave the solar system" one would've been done, but I can't think of a story.
Superman's 800th century buddies -> gold. I really want there to be a DC One Million imprint/ongoing anthology/something. It would have to be slightly less gosh-gee than the series was, to maintain steam -- maybe get Tom Peyer to do it, bring Hourman back into it.

But yeah, there would be a lot of story potential in seeing how Bruce Wayne deals with old age. (Even DKR reads more like "Bruce Wayne dealing with middle age.")
