(1) I don't know if Marv is going to answer my question in a future issue,
but the Anti-Monitor did make a reference to Darkseid and that he was going
to deal with him at ome later point.

(2) Actually, it's not true that *no one* at DC can handle Darkseid the way
he should be handled. In general, I thought that the Englehart/Rogers &
Gerber/Golden issues of MR. MIRACLE were fairly good, and the Levitz/Giffen
"Great Darkness Saga" in LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES was *outstanding* (except
for a rather weak ending.
