I am so close to done with all this bullshit.

No icon ragey enough. This one feels cold and bitter, which is appropriate enough.

A little under two pages from Birds of Prey #2.





With all the fail going 'round at DC lately, the last thing I needed this week was Gail Simone killing gays (even if he pulled the trigger himself). I don't even know anymore.

This shit better be a fake-out because I'm out of patience for Brightest Day and DC in general. I'm gonna go drown my sorrows in Pet Avengers. :(

That isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying the way writers tend to use the second act these days is tiresome. Especially second act deaths. If the second act gets too egregious, you won't want to stick around for the third. Remember Devin Grayson's Nightwing?

All things can be tiresome, and alienating a proportion of the readership is a risk that's run whenever a character is killed off (cf my own reaction to New Mutants 60, back in the day), however, if it's known that the story is not over, I try to hold back on the rage until I have all the data (and in the case of NM60, that WAS all the data regarding Doug's survival state, for the next 25 years or so)
