Yep, pretty much obvious. Grant Morrison - shame on you.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

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.

5-hour cereal:
In spite of all the B.S. that Morrison is spouting, does anyone else think they're doing this because their Corporate Overlords ordered them to resurrect the character for a movie franchise?
