Look! Up in the sky!

I was planning to write something today about two Superman books which yesterday overcame my usual lack of interest in the character: Mark Millar's atypically child-friendly Superman Adventures (which deals with the character in his purest form, telling simple yet iconic stories unencumbered by continuity) and Steve Seagle's It's A Bird (an autobiographical piece about a writer offered the Superman job but distracted by fear of Huntington's Disease).
And then I start up the computer and find out that Superman's dead.

Oh, and...
butterflycaught: Hell no. Though I'm very much in favour of cloaks.
kitty_goth: I thought it was Tavern rather than Arms? If that's the one you mean, then provisionally yes, though this week's a mare.
razorcheekbones: a) I'm not surprised! b) Not my department, I'm afraid.
rentaghost31: I should think that can be arranged.

Weekend update in progress.

So it's your fault, then?

Ultimately the blame lies with his enemies, who took over the world and turned him into a cripple who had once acted in the film of his own life with their reality-altering powers...

It did spook me a little, but I read no Derrida over the weekend so it can't all be down to me.

"Superman's Dead" is the name of a song by Our Lady Peace; from their debut album. I wonder if this will increase their sales.

It would be great if Christopher Reeve follows Superman's lead by returning in a few months' time after four impostors pretend to be him in the interim.

Clearly all the higher-ranking bloggers like rhodri and wardytron were too busy to comment.
