Why this must be read: Although the Superman movies are ostensibly about the superhero, it's the character of Lois Lane around who much of the story revolves. How does Lois deal with Superman's disappearance? There's a big question the movies left largely unanswered. Here, the author lets you in on Lois' secret. She's a woman who veers between absurdly applying white-out to his photograph and morbidly contemplating her health as her life takes ever stranger turns. Lois Lane's story may be blackly comic at times but it always rings true to the character.
It's not like Superman hasn't disappeared for a week before. You know this. Ever since he suddenly showed up in Metropolis, Superman has been missing for a seven-day period or longer exactly eight times. Lex, Lex, that thing with the cave and the kryptonite, Lex, the comet thing, Lex ... okay, most of them were Lex. But Lex is in prison and will be there forever and a day at this point, so ... yeah.
Maybe he's taking a vacation.
See, as pissed as you'd be if he were taking a vacation (because, you know, a forwarding number would have been nice), you'd get it. He's sure as hell earned it. You can even picture the scene. Superman on a beach somewhere with a silly drink with an umbrella in it. Lose the tights, keep the Speedo, spit curl coming apart in the humidity.
After you stop being worried and start being angry, which takes about another two weeks of searching empty skies, you get absurdly hateful of his hair.
Stupid spit curl. You hope he has an accident shaving and cuts the damn thing right off.
One day you take one of Jimmy's better shots of Superman and white out the dark curl against his forehead. It's ridiculously moronic revenge and yet you spend the rest of the day beaming like an idiot.
And the worst part of the whole situation is that you can't even complain to Clark about it, because Clark packed up and left town right about the same time Superman did. You only consider slipping the gossip columnist the rumor they ran off together for an hour before you toss the idea right out.
Okay, mostly because you can't see anybody running off with Clark, but still.
