3* The repeated scene of Doomsday pounding against his cell, complete with a "DOOM" sound-effect, is a reference to Walt Simonson's run on ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor''. Simonson's wife, Louise, was one of the writers of ''The Death of Superman''.
4* In a few panels, Comicbook/JimmyOlsen is shown wearing a Music/SpinDoctors shirt. The band had a hit song at the time called "Jimmy Olsen's Blues". (One might wonder why Jimmy didn't wear a Music/CrashTestDummies shirt, since ''they'' did "Superman's Song" the year before, which was about Superman's funeral.
