I don't think the feral race thing was cannon. As far as I remember it was one of the "other dimension" stories that always confuse the people who aren't regularly reading or keeping up with things.

I don't know...comics aren't what they used to be. I stopped reading them regularly about 2 years after the Spider-Man clone saga. The art started to suck and the stories weren't very well thought out or written anymore. I will catch an occasional story arc here and there. I have a ton of comics. I want to start selling them though because they serve no purpose sitting in boxes in my basement. All of them are bagged and backed and mint.

Ahh ok, thats good. I thought it was pretty ridiculous.

You got that right. There is a lot of computer generated art too, which Im not really a fan of. Yeah, I was about 12-13 when I stopped reading em, that was when they made spiderman go crazy, and I was fed up with that. I like keeping all mine in the garage, I love to read comics, my old ones anyway. I started getting a few in trade paper back form, and whenever I go to comic con, I always get a few. But yeah, I havent gone to a comic store in years, I wouuldnt even know where to find one... I just like to relive my childhood from time to time, thats why I keep em.

Actually, in '85 on Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show (this was the last in the Saturday morning cartoon series that started with 'Superfriends' in '73), they killed Supe. Of course, they figured out that he was really just in hibernation from Kryptonite poisoning or something....but, still, I thought it was pretty heavy for 80s Sat toons.

shmokes:
If you like comics I highly recommend reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. It's about two guys who got into the comics business at the ground floor, just after Superman came out and when Stan Lee was first hustling and trying to start his own stuff. It's an amazing novel (it's fiction, but still has a lot of actual history in it). One of the best I've ever read. Other people liked it too. It won a Pulitzer.

The best death was....

...and fans VOTED to kill him!

Of course, DC couldn't just leave him dead and brought him back in 2005. Idiots.
