This doesn't quite prove what you think it does.

The writers of the Legion series had no idea that the actual consequences of
the moon blowing up would be, and certainly no idea that it would be as severe
as it actually would be.  (Until the fans started telling them.)  As far as
they were concerned, the Earth _could_ recover, easily, from this disaster;
blowing up the Earth was not, for the writers, a way of getting rid of an
unhabitable planet totally messed up by the biggest disaster together, but
rather a way of destroying something that was otherwise quite sound and healthy.

Well it looks like the clone theory will be a reality. The project
head of the Camdus Project had Superman's body stolen from his tomb,
and will be attempting to clone him using the same methods they used
to heal the Guardian. There was much debating as to if it would work
since the Guardian was still alive when the process was done, and they
wouldn't have to mind to put in the new body. Dubilex may be able to
project a Superman persona into the clone, from past mind melds with
Superman. Also they can't figure out how to get a DNA sample since
Superman is still invulnerable.

That reminds me.  In the latest WHO's Who  ( which I normally don't buy ,but

super-hero was a member" .  Maybe they have retconned the All-Star Squadron
into the JSA.  I think that was Roy's original plan.

	Not too bad.  IMHO, they should have played a riff on the Superman

but have him give Clark the deathbed speech the PC-Pa gave to Superboy.

	What the Hey?  I suppose that with Superman dying, someone might
want to take his place.  I must confess my pet theory was that Matrix 
was going to psychically absorb Superman's soul/mind and permantly transform
itself into Superman (naturally reworking itself to make it identical to
Superman to the last DNA strand).

I am just starting to collect comics again after about seven years
of absence.  Not that I was ever too interested in DC (I am still not)
I decided to buy the Doomsday series of Superman (who didn't?).
Anyway, I keep hearing reference to some type of Crisis that happened
that erased everything that ever happened in the DC universe before
and resulted in completely new characters and revamped old characters
(like Superman...the Superman I used to occasionally read would
not have died against Doomsday.  All that could harm him was magic
and Kryptonite.  But I digress...).  What the heck is this Crisis??
Could someone please e-mail me a brief explanation??

For those interested, here's some information about upcoming appearances
by Neil Gaiman, according to info posted on his topic on GEnie:

First off, in New York City, Neil will be reading Troll Bridge, his story
in the SNOW WHITE, BLOOD RED anthology this Thursday the 14th. This will
be at Dixon Place, 258 Bowery, between Prince and Houston. Phone number there 
is 212-219-3088. Jack Womack and Paul De Filipo will also be on the program.
No idea if there's a charge for this or not.

Then, this Monday evening, January 18th, from 7:30-9:00 p.m., Neil will
be part of a signing for SW/RR at B. Dalton's at 396 Ave. of the Americas
at 8th St. in NYC. Phone there is 212-674-8780. Also signing will be
Ellen Datlow, Patricia A. McKillip, Jack Dann, and Harvey Jacobs. There
will be a limit on the number of comic books allowed in the store for signing,
but there's no word on exactly what that limit will be.

In late February, we've got the Vertigo tour. All the information I have so
far is the dates and cities Neil will be in for this. No info on whether
any other Vertigoths will also be there, or even where/what will be going
on, beyond there being one store signing in each city, exact stores unknown.
February 19-21, Boston, MA (Friday-Sunday)
February 22-23, Washington, D.C. (Monday-Tuesday)
February 25-26, Seattle, WA (Thursday-Friday)

Summary: coincidence
Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1993 03:59:53 GMT


I've seen lots of talk about the plans for the Marvel and DC Annuals  for 93.
Both companies will be introducing at least one new characyet in every Annual.
The general sentiment I've heard floating is that one of the two caompanies
came up with the idea(DC) and that the other is simply following suit(Marvel).
Everyone has dismissed the possibility of it being a genuine coincidence.
However, this is exactly how CSN first reported it way back in August.  They
compared it to the debut of the original Doom Patrol and X-Men only a month
apart.  While it seems much easier to believe such a pure coincidence could
occur in the simpler days gone by, it still possible and probable in this case
that it was just luck.

I personally see it as a react by both companies to Image.  Many of the creators
said that they had been saving up the ideas the first Image titles were based
upon for some time, for a special project.  I think this push for new
characters in the annuals was a ploy by the Big Two to get those ideas out
of the creators minds, onto paper and in the long run addition to the plus
column of the ledger sheet.

Just my two cents.

Well, let's think what this might be like...

1) Kid Fantastic was the first substitute member of the Fantastic Four

2) Alicia is actually male.
