This is a promising and very interesting start, Dandello. I take it that Superman will not be coming back - actually I think it would almost be cheating if he does! This story should deal with Clark realizing that he used to be Superman, but he is no more. And then he should have to learn how to be a successful reporter without his superpowers (could be tricky, that). And then, of course, he should work up enough courage to tell Lois who he is - or used to be. How will she react? Really and truly, she must be happy that the man who used to be Superman is still alive! And if she doesn't love Clark already, she should love him now. Imagine, giving up his powers and risking his life to save all of humanity.

By the way, how the heck did Clark survive the plunge through the Earth's atmosphere after he had had a close encounter with a humongous Kryptonite-laden asteroid?

Looking forward to more of this!
