Read the first 2 chapters again for the 3rd time. Something new comes out ech time I read this.
Don't know if anyone else caught this but why was Superman in total fear of being taken to the hospital. Why didn't he ask to be taken somewhere - why di he not ask for Dr. Hamilton maybe or Lois? He is covered with kryptonite dust and dying and he tells Jesse not to worry he'll be better in a short while.
Now there is always the theme of denying one's mortality/vulnerability that Jesse hints at - but this would sort of be suicide - Superman not asking to be taken to a Hamilton or Lois.
So is there a hidden B plot going on here? Was the attack on Superman a grand conspiracy with "official" government elements invovled? Hence Superman not wanting to be taken to the hospital?
Seems like Superman may have something bigger than the kryptonite he needs to be saved from. As a counterpoint to Jesse.
