Countdown To Infinite Crisis preview.
Damn. This might just be what sucks me back into comics.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
"Countdown to Infinite Crisis" looks awesome, but man, that is the worst title ever.
Will I buy it? Oh yes. But I will still mock the name.
They better not kill Blue Beetle, though. Especially not so soon after killing Sue Dibny. Although if they are doing that, I can see why the whole thing might have driven Keith Giffen to leave DC.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Victor, I get the bad feeling they're going to. Because they're ratfuckers and they hate me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But! But! I like him! They can't do that. And those preview pages make me like him more.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
amych took the words out of my mouth.
Damn it.

I know. Those previews are some of the best he's been handled in ages, aside from maybe in BoP, and I think he's a goner. I'm pretty sure that's who Batman's holding on the cover. Of course, other rumors say Nightwing or the Atom, but my money's on Mr. Kord

I admit, after reading the pages, I went back up and relooked at the cover with a sense of closing doom. I hope I'm making up the goggles in the guy's silhouette. And, you know, there's no assurance (is there?) that the guy's dead, right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'll second Tom's recommendation of Ed the Happy Clown. One of the most demented and yet haunting comics ever.
I'd rather not see Blue Beetle, Nightwing or Atom killed. What's with all the killing? Can't they tell a nice story about catching burglars with a few witty bon mots and jumplines? A little super speed, some snazzy puns, a catch phrase battle cry in splash page sized font...what's wrong with that?
Besides death has been thoroughly devalued by now as a narrative trope. If they can bring back Jason after 9,000 panels of the empty suit in the glass case, then they're just minutes away from jerking Barry Allen back into this timeline.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If they can bring back Jason ..., then they're just minutes away from jerking Barry Allen back into this timeline.
