Yeah, I'm too hooked to wait for the Trades on this. Bad enough waiting for Starman.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

In case it wasn't clear, I have read it. Just haven't bought it.

Heh. I get it.

And I can't say they don't have a point, really. Still, not undercutting my enjoyment of the story, though.
Oh, totally, on both counts, though in a case where you're needing a death like this, I can't think of a male character who'd have been effective. Sort of like killing Tara.
Reading my older titles (my Spider-Woman collection, for example) is often an exercise for my wince muscles. Comics have come a long way in how they portray women.

Yeah. The problem with the IC death is that it had to be someone who knew a LOT of people, and someone who's significant other had a public identity made it a media event in the DC universe. The Atom's ex-wife might have worked, but she's not been around much lately (Sue and Ralph have been active in Starman, Formerly-Known-As-the-Justice-League and others.) Someone like, say, Pa Kent might have done the trick, but most super heroes don't know Supes' identity, so you're left with a Superman story, or at best, a JLA story. Ditto for Tim Drake's dad. I think WOnder Woman has an SO, but I'm not sure. Anyway, they're probably all targets now, anyway. :)

Victor, I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Starman when you get a chance. I'm about 5 trades in to the series and madly in love.

Okey-doke, although I'm for bed in a minute. Short answer is, though, that it may be my favorite superhero title ever. Jack Knight is sooooo cool.
And did you catch his cameo in IC? He's in the front row of the funeral, next to the Stat Spangled Kid.

Right now, that character has no romantic entanglements.
Stat Spangled Kid.
She has ditched that name, and for the moment is just called Star
