Story
Featuring
Lex Luthor
Storyline
Lex finds himself with Death, gazing on his own body (after it was shot in the last issue). She gives him a life review. Lex tries arguing for his life, tries to bribe her, tries to gain her sympathy; but she's heard it all before. She gets his views on the afterlife, and Lex refuses to accept his fate. But he doesn't have to; Death reveals to him that he's not dead, and indeed, he awakens back in his jet, quite alive.
Story Notes
Story continued from the previous issue and continues in the next issue.
In interviews with Paul Cornell, Paul says that Neil wrote "quite a lot of Death's dialog", and hoped DC would credit Neil as co-writer (which they didn't; he's credited as "very special thanks to neil gaiman").
