Steph, had you not read Batgirl: Year One?
I still haven't read it, though I should be getting it from Barnes & Noble.com today or tomorrow.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hit up Borders yesterday. I now have Red Son on paper (and might loan that to my coworker, once I've fondled it a bit), NML #1, and the Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra.
I love Elektra so much, but so rarely. Her appearance on Daredevil up to her death, and the Hand sublot -- golden.
Most everything else? Ick.
I hope Ultimate treats her well. I heard she's getting her own Ultimate title.

It’s like fans get really, really upset when a character gets killed, and I’m like, have you ever read a comic before? Your survival rate, if you die in a comic, is like 99.9 percent!
Heh. Devin is the scarred old veteran.
Ple & Amych, poor Devin sounds beleaguered by stupid fans. You should drop her an email letting her know how #93 rocked your world.

1. Joker Last Laugh. It didn't stick. Someone was there to revive Joker.
I think the Joker has "died" more times (going back to his very first appearence in the 30/40s) than John Crichton and Darla combined, even if you aren't counting AUs.

I just finished this the other night. It's really gooood.

That's truly impressive.

Moreso in Marvel than in DC, or at least that used to be the case.
I remember for a while in the 80's, the only character Marvel killed and kept dead was Guardian. A Canadian.

Didn't they eventually do a story where James Hudson did return, in EXACTLY the same manner as the extremely cheesy ruse Delphine Courtney used to get back at Heather?

I thought they killed the original Captain Marvel before that from cancer, and he hasn't returned.
