Type: Dream sequence
J.M. DeMatteis has two modes of writing. There are the comedy stylings of the 80s Justice League, and then there are the boring philosophical tracts of projects like Where Is Thy Sting? Worthy, certainly, but wordy and dull. This graphic novel with art by Liam McCormack-Sharp is basically a long hallucination in which Superman proves to be undying. In 2050, Lois dies, which I guess provokes the mourning suit pictured above. It seems like the survivor's guilt of Krypton's demise is weighing on him, and so he also becomes the sole survivor of Earth...
...and then of the universe(!).
And in those billions of years, as he grieves for every soul, and every world, and every star, he always remembers Lois Lane. And she's what brings him back to reality, at the end of all things.
