Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Oh, yeah. He doesn't do it as often anymore, but he used to write a lot about comic books and playing D&D as a kid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But in a genre where death is malleable, I think it's easy to miss how well certain characters work while dead, how they exert a gravity on the main story.

I think this point is true and Jean Grey and Jason Todd exerted more influence and gravity to their respective universes when they were dead.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd argue the same was true of Barry Allen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I concur, Matt.

At this point I think the only dead people left in the DC universe are the Waynes.

ETA: And Barry's mother. I forgot she had to die so he could be resurrected with a tragic back story.

Oh, yeah! Duh. Two of my friends are volunteering at local comic shops to help them manage the increased traffic; I should have known better.
