Well "death" is always relative in comics.
ReplyDeleteOK, here's one surprise ruined: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/75764375.html
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't think I should say so here, but I'll certainly be discussing it when I reach Batman Incorporated #7, and hopefully #8 when I hopefully get to read it myself. On a side note, I wonder if this is why Snyder didn't do anything major in "Death of the Family." Thunder stolen back!
DeleteIt's nice they're letting Morrison kill off the character he created, not that I'd expect him to stay dead for long.
DeleteI do wonder about that. The whole Ra's al Ghul family has always been used sparingly, and the character in question (in the vague hope we can avoid spoilers here for the moment) is definitely a part of that.
DeleteI was underwhelmed by the news about his death. The first time was bold, now it just feels like more of the same.
ReplyDeleteIt's appropriate that his creator is the one who gets to do the dead. Apparently it's been the plan all along. As a fan of Morrison, I'm impressed more than anything, and it's a big way to begin the ending of the entire run.
