Superman: Doomsday Page #3

---

That's all that matters.

Clark.

Superman died as he lived...

...defending Metropolis.

He may have come

from another world...

...but he will always belong to ours.

James Olsen?

Your photos of the tragedy were...

Well, words fail.

It must have been hard for you,

being Superman's pal, I mean.

If you ever need to talk.

What is he doing here?

I wouldn't be surprised

if he's somehow responsible.

Luthor doesn't matter right now.

Come on, Lois.

Today, Superman's funeral was viewed...

...by hundreds of millions worldwide.

Not since President Kennedy died

has our nation so collectively mourned.

Yet it is the people of Metropolis

who are feeling the loss most...

...as we knew him best.

So let us take a brief moment

to celebrate his time with us.

Last year for Halloween,

I dressed like Superman.

Now I'm gonna do it every year

for the rest of my life.

I was installing a satellite dish when

I slipped off the roof, three stories.

I should have been a goner.

But out of nowhere...

...everyone's guardian angel

was suddenly mine too.

Not a word from Kent.

He hasn't called, hasn't e-mailed.

Clark isn't coming back.

It's Afghanistan, chief.

People die there every day.

Look, Lane, Kent's fine.

Just lost in the trenches.

You know how he disappears

into his work.

What are you doing here anyway?

I told you to take time off.

And do what?

I'm trying to keep myself occupied.

Well, occupy yourself

with friends or family.

You must have someone

you can talk to.

- Yes?

- Mrs. Kent?

I'm Lois Lane.

- From the Daily Pl...

- I know who you are, Miss Lane.

My son talks about you quite often.

He's the reason I've come to see you.

Has there been word

from Afghanistan?

I've been...

Well, I have been so worried.

Mrs. Kent...

...you know as well as I do

that your son...

...died in Metropolis last week.

- Look, I'm not here as a reporter. I...

- Then why are you here, Miss Lane?

I don't know exactly.

Maybe it's just...

I don't know if he told you,

but we had been seeing each other...

...for the past few months,

romantically, I mean.

And I know the rest

of the world adored him...

...and misses him

now that he's gone...

...but no one else

on this whole stupid planet...

...can know what it felt like to

really love him, to be loved by him...

...or how it feels now...

...every minute of every day,

like I'm broken.

Like I'm the one

that freaking monster pounded on.

You know, I was just about

to put on a fresh pot of coffee.

You look like

you could use a cup.

God, yes. Thank you.

As feared...

...crime rates have soared

in the past weeks.

Criminals have become more daring...

...and Metropolis P.D. Remains
