Two options previously mentioned on the list are that the person who killed the Comte takes his place as First and Last Man (maybe do it like a sinister version of "The Santa Clause" where the person slowly aquires traits, physical and mental, of the original Comte and receives lots of self checks), and that the current oldest living person on earth takes his role (and receives his power... he'd have to be as old as or older than some oft he Grail Knights in PoMoMa).

Or perhaps the other option: the universe doesn't reincarnate, at all.  The penultiate archetype ascends, and there's no Comte to finish the deal, and so entropy wins out and the universe goes on forever in a downward spiral (the question then is whether people can still ascend as new archetypes, or whether the IC just stops existing altogether, or what).
