She knew he would never take first prize. For content, from Hellblazer #9  For context, swampy manifested his body from Constantine's pack of smokes. The rogue mage seriously just rolled himself a plant elemental ciggy and is about to have a few puffs. Wish I could find my scans of Wasteland....

Why does Superman need guns? Or a knife? Or XTREME 2DMAXX leather straps? Or bandoliers not properly put on?

Vengeance of Pandas posted:You mean this one? That's it! Beautiful! It was a Valentines Day issue, and each story was a bit racy, in the UK it was sold in a sealed plastic bag... The only stories I remember was that Dante story, which I think was my first introduction to homoerotic insecurity (Although it would be at last 10 years before I would understand what 'homoeotic insecurity'meant), and another wherein Dredd got mobbed by a whole bunch of sex robots, female and male.

Yeah, my first exposure to comics as a kid was reading my dad's stack of The Death of Superman comics, because he was one of the people duped into thinking that they'd be super-valuable later. He took a young child removing them all from sleeves and rolling the spines surprisingly well. Sorry, dad.

Infinitum posted:Why does Superman need guns? Or a knife? Or XTREME 2DMAXX leather straps? Or bandoliers not properly put on? The actual answer to all these questions is that he was still nowhere near full strength after being reborn, and actually had to use a kryptonian mech for protection and locomotion at first. The whole story ended with his power levels being brought back closer to pre-Crisis levels, or at least implied to be. Still mad stupid of course.

If I remember right, didn't they explain Clark's absence by saying he'd been buried in rubble from the Doomsday fight? So.... how much time actually passed in-universe between the death and return of Superman? A week?

So.... how much time actually passed in-universe between the death and return of Superman? A week? WIki says The Death of Superman posted:Later on, Superman, Supergirl and Lois collaborate to film Clark Kent's rescue, Supergirl using her shapeshifting powers to pose as Clark Kent and create the impression that Clark was trapped in an underground bunker in Doomsday's initial attack, able to sustain himself on supplies in the bunker but unable to escape until Superman returned and was able to contribute his X-ray vision to the rescue effort. So "however long it took for the plot to catch up with him" seems about right.

So.... how much time actually passed in-universe between the death and return of Superman? A week? Longer than a week. It was a week before they even got the burial done. Clark was just implied to be in an underground shelter. (They got the idea after rescuing two kids who are found an underground shelter.) Supergirl pretended to be him.
