Apparently, some other people do, and they have waaaay too much time on their hands. Link: Newsarama's Journey into Comics credit: Mile High Comics' Newsarama.com @ ViewAskew - Apparently we can't get enough of Doomsday, as Dan Jurgens is creating a 4-issue weekly miniseries called Day of Doom, which is a flashback of sorts recounting the events in the Doomsday storyline. Talk about beating a dead horse... Link: Jurgen's Day of Doom credit: Mile High Comics' Newsarama.com @ ViewAskew - So does Ben Affleck prefer J-Lo or Matt Damon? Who cares! Check this out...

It may not always be informative, but it's entertaining. [/edit] BOOKS - After the New Jedi Order story arc is done in late 2003, Del Rey will publish expanded universe stories set between Return of the Jedi and the nJo. Which means the return of some currently dead characters. credit: theForce.net - R.A. Salvatore has been pretty busy.
