--- Quote from: Bad Superman on 16 Aug 2018, 07:48 ---If, in the comics, Superman flies into space, and comes back a year later with a different costume and a different set of powers, would you like to know how that happened?
I sure would...

I'm more interested in what a year of Superman comics minus Superman would look like.
--- End quote ---
Already happened. It was called the Death of Superman, followed by Reign of the Supermen.

... and? What did Superman minus Superman look like? What did they write about that maintained readers' interest?
Scarlet Manuka:
Going back to Sam and Faye - several people have assumed or speculated that Sam was at the shop without Jim's knowledge. But I was just reading back a bit and saw in #3800 that not only had Faye made Sam call Jim to get permission, but Faye specifically promised that "I'll make sure she comes back with the right number of fingers. Yeah, they'll still be attached to her." (I too had forgotten this detail.)
The fact that she messed up the exact thing she promised wouldn't happen changes the complexion of Jim's response to her quite a bit, I think, and makes it more natural.

Pintsize is being nice. What’s his angle?
--- End quote ---
No angle. He's not really being nice, either - so far, just making observations. He does seem concerned, though and I think it's a matter of having to deal with a stressed out member of the family.
He's a companion AI, after all. And his primary charge, Marten, is too chill for Pintsize to ever have had to deal with something like what Claire's going through. Even with the Dora breakup, he was able to "handle" Marten with a certain amount of cruel-to-be-kindness.
But what Claire's going through is quite different, and I think he's decided that it needs to be dealt with head on. In fact, you have to get the denier to admit there's a problem before anything else can be done!
And TBH, I don't think he wants her blowing up her and Marten's relationship, something that makes both of them happy. In her current state, that's a distinct possibility.
He's just doin' his job.
Somebody:
Where is this Clare thing going anyway? This isn't the first time anyone's made this observation, after all. I can't believe for a second JJ's actually going to have her fail, so...everyone's going to tell her to relax for an indeterminate number of strips until she finally does?

Other people that took up the role/mantle of Superman while he was presumed dead. There were spinoffs where there was like 4-6 other people claiming to be his successors. Some of them, like Steel and Superboy stuck around as their own characters when the grand story arc was up.
