I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

I mean, it was hugely foreshadowed, but still. So. Wrong.

t edit MM, I was thinking of you when I posted that, b/c we talked about it in the movies thread.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Fuck 'em. Just... fuck 'em all to fucklandia and back.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"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.

Fucksticks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

MM, I was just thinking the same thing.
