"The Prez" was part of the infamous DC explosion, when they suddenly increased the number of titles they were shipping.
As you can expect, this was followed several months later by the "DC Implosion", when 30 titles (some of which were only pending) were canned.

Those clips on the Gone & Forgotten page are extraordinary in their gripping depiction of privileged white-guy racism.

They tried this periodically, didn't they. I remember they tried to do some titles with villains as the main characters at one point. I had several issues of a JOKER comic (which didn't work because he was suddenly not a homicidal lunatic after several years of being that way), and I also remember they tried to do an anti-Justice League title where a bunch of the prominent villains teamed up using the JLA as an organizational model (dreamed up by Sinestro, IIRC).

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

Supervillain teams, as we've rediscovered over the last year or so, KICK BUTT. (Yes, I adored the heck out of VU.)

Re: "It's about family," I feel very much that "Brief Lives" is more about change than family. "You can stop being anything." Destruction is change, so he changes and stops being Destruction. This to be contrasted with Dream's resistance to change in himself, though he's already undergone some of it despite this. Delirium having such a large role points at this further. Together they are, in order, one who has changed and become something other, one who has neither changed (much) nor left the Endless, and one who has changed and stayed Endless. They almost describe a cycle in three persons.
Oh, very nice. I do agree that change is a major theme as well.
(I'm reading along at this point. Damn you.)
Hee. Nice. I'm finishing The Kindly Ones tonight. It may be a very long post.

Thank YOU! I probably still have the issue or two that I picked up of that (also in tragic shape I'm sure). I can't remember if I missed an issue and just stopped buying it or what, but I remember enjoying what I'd read. Anyone know how long it lasted?

15 issues, which was a pretty good run back then.
