[...] As we anticipated FINAL CRISIS #7 with bated breath and trembling fingertips, COMICS SHOULD BE GOOD’s Brian Cronin had this suggestion for just what was missing from FINAL CRISIS #6: [...]

Christ, Brian, the commenters are getting dumber by the day. I didn’t think it possible.

Sorry for the double post. I thought it didn’t go through. For some reason, I didn’t see my post, or any of the ones since yesterday when I came back.

I love that so many people have forgotten Rule One of comic books.

The rule simply states that no one currently with their own title dies, especially not in another title. (Subverted by The Merc., the exception to prove the rule)

In the old days, they simply didn’t “kill” many characters, and brought them back even less often (not counting “his body was never found” scenarios).

Depends on what you call the ‘old’ days.
From the seventies on, it started happening.

Too many resurrections cheapen the impact of characters’ deaths (as do too many deaths.) But tell that to the current DC administration.

Are they killing too many characters or bringing too many back?

* “This just another convoluted crossover clusterf**k made to milk your wallet and try your patience that is easier on us because we can just keep jerking around with the character’s status or who’s wearing their costumes and mark names off DiDio’s kill list. It will go basically nowhere except into the very next bloated event and so on. Dollar bill ya’ll!” –Easy Money Eddie.

Well, that makes me feel a bit jerked around for buying into RIP. I guess I should have just stuck to reading Detective Comics, which I thought were better anyways. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to wait until the battle for the cowl is over and Bruce wayne is once again Batman to start reading his books again. I just hope he isn’t killed off in This really is the Final, Final Crisis in two years.

It should say “Gee, its not like anyone reading this is ACTUALLY going to think Batman is dead! We’re just going to milk that fear and then refer people to a number of years old comics seemingly unrelated to this for an explanation! So there!”

“Since, I’m against reading Final crisis. I was kinda wondering if they explained his “appearent” death in RIP?”

He’s Batman. What more explanation do you need?

RIP ended the way it did so that there would be an ending for people who would only be picking up the TPB. Those people could interpret that as when he “died”. However, like most “never found a body” situations, he wasn’t dead and simply went on to Final Crisis.

So much for the “we don’t write for the trades” that writers and editors have be saying for years.

@ Sean Whitmore: Ah, “Mourners R Us”…

Now I’m going to see (and hear) that for every dead body Superman holds like that…

Please Note Superman’s Not Crying. Even He Doesn’t Believe It.

I suddenly got this image of Superman speaking in Eddie Izzard’s voice and saying, “And now I’m gonna WANG him into a tree!”

Both of the big tow seem to really like killing and bringing people back out life. So, that they can rinse and repeat until nobody even glances at a comic with a Someboy is Gonna Die, tagline.

I couldn’t care less about Batman’s death (I’m sure Morrison will spin some interesting stories out of it regardless) but that addition would’ve increased my enjoyment of the book, like tenfold.

“Yeah, back in the day before they had those, when a character died, they stayed dead!

Except for those who didn’t.”

In the old days, they simply didn’t “kill” many characters, and brought them back even less often (not counting “his body was never found” scenarios). Too many resurrections cheapen the impact of characters’ deaths (as do too many deaths.) But tell that to the current DC administration.
