    Interesting. One thing missing is the time Cheshire triggered a nuclear bomb in Quarac ...

    Some of those deaths happened 20 years ago. Some have been undone. (Kyle Raynor was dead for less than a full issue!)

    This seems like a "let's stir up some pageviews" kind of story.

    Check out the Secret Headquarters (my store) website! it's much better now!

    But they let Ralph and Sue Dibny stay dead? That's not fair!

    The conclusion to Ralph's story in 52 was one of the few times a super-hero comic made me cry. They deserve their peace.

    Having said that, they've already come back with Deadman-like status and powers in Outsiders more than a year ago.

    But it does lose its effectiveness as a dramatic ending. If no one takes death seriously in comics, why bother having any of them die?

    Thanks Doc.

    Another great link. Looks pretty damning to me.

    But I guess they can always argue that unintended racism isn't racism.

    But when it got dirty, WOW did it get dirty quick! Yuck.
