There's no way to post this without giving away what I'm spoiling, because if it's too vague, you'll have to click to see what I'm talking about, and maybe you don't want to be spoiled for that, but if I make even a teeny tiny hint, most comics fans will know what I'm referring to.
But here goes (BIG CHARACTER SPOILER BEHIND LINK): Yup, DC Comics is bringing back an old favorite.
DAMN, they suck. Massively.
Yep, pretty much obvious. Grant Morrison - shame on you.
No No NO NO NO!!!
Goddamn them to hell! Such fuckwaddery!
I mean, it was hugely foreshadowed, but still. So. Wrong.

Fuck 'em. Just... fuck 'em all to fucklandia and back.
"That's the point of comics - they don't have to die, because they're fictional creations," said Grant Morrison, one of the writers behind the comeback.
"We can do anything with them, and we can make them come back and make them defy death," Morrison said. "And that's why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death."
At least the original
Ferro Lad
stayed dead.
That is IT! I am creating my own comics universe and with very few exceptions once a motherfucker DIES he stays DEAD!
Unless there are zombies involved, of course.
Seriously, man. Bring back Superboy. Bring back Bart Allen.
Fucksticks.
MM, I was just thinking the same thing.
