"Archie is *not* fucking Mr. Weatherbee!"
"Deny, deny."
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Destroying their collections?
That's what the news said. "Many" may be an exaggeration. SEVERAL I would believe.
I did find 3 auctions on Ebay of entire Archie comic collections. Irked collectors ditching the entire franchise.
I think it's a bit goofy. But then, I am not a comic collector. I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman (specifically), Frank Miller (specifically), and anything where the Joker gets good lines. That's *it*.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I read about this in more detail on Wikipedia. Do the collectors understand this is an alternate universe kind of thing and likely not to stick?
I don't get it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm sure these are the same people who thought Superman would stay dead. Or Capt. America. Or Batman ...

Or fucking Barry Allen.
They did finally bring him back, right? I swear I heard they had done that after promising never ever ever.

They did. Fucking Dan DiDio. (I say this as a hypocrite with 2 months' worth of DC comics sitting next to me, ready to be packed for vacation reading.)

Well, yeah, but they held out around 20 years, and at least it's proving to be a good story. Bruce Wayne, Steve Rogers, Clark Kent back in the day -- they were transparently temporary.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Okay, I have just read the second Serenity graphic novel, and I have no idea what the fuck actually HAPPENED.
And, seriously, following plots is not normally something I find tricky. But that was some exceptionally shit storytelling, on top of the shoddy colouring. Or so it seemed to me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Shocking News! Bruce Wayne is not really dead !!!! [link]
Who could have predicted such a stunning turn of events?
