Hopefully their "souls" remain pure.<br /><br />Plus, as a lover of zombie movies, you always kill the zombie. Even if it looks like someone you knew, it's something completely different and evil now.zookeeper dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-51954077901006331522009-08-15T16:06:52.734-04:002009-08-15T16:06:52.734-04:00Sorry, visiting the Shrine made me suddenly post/m...Sorry, visiting the Shrine made me suddenly post/mail without checking up first... anyhoo, there is no damage on wearing it during Halloween or in a comic convention, what's more, try and stop me in the next SDCC, recognize!Oscar Olaldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456841417311659759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-8806159513561364022009-08-15T15:42:33.232-04:002009-08-15T15:42:33.232-04:00AG-

Its the basic idea--turning these venerable characters into murderous, flesh-chomping zombies--that I just can't get behind.<br /><br />But I'll be reading it all, to see how it comes out...rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-10656439339108024742009-08-15T11:13:58.274-04:002009-08-15T11:13:58.274-04:00I have to agree with Craig W.--they did, after all...I have to agree with Craig W.--they did, after all, have Hal Jordan go crazy and kill millions in the mid 90s, and he's back as heroic as ever. All is forgiven (somehow) by way of evil possession and mind control. I'm sure the black rings are making them say and do things they normally wouldn't and when they come back there'll be some token strained relationships that'll be gotten past and never referred to again within a year.<br /><br />That said, unlike the rest of you guys, I'm enjoying Blackest Night. I think I'm involved deep enough in the story that the perversion of these characters doesn't make me resent Johns et al., but Black hand and the secret mastermind for twisting DC's face like this.David J.

I don't you can bring any of these people back as heroes, having once murdered their friends. "Sorry I ate your flesh...so, wanna go fight Darkseid?"<<br /><br />Alas, Rob, as profoundly stupid as that idea is; and as deeply disrespectful as it is to the creators of the characters -<br /><br />Just watch.<br /><br />Sadly,<br />-Craig W.wich2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-56043591732430951822009-08-15T08:15:54.387-04:002009-08-15T08:15:54.387-04:00We'll be talking about Aquaman in WC on Monday...We'll be talking about Aquaman in WC on Monday!rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-90918081707216268702009-08-15T08:12:28.516-04:002009-08-15T08:12:28.516-04:00I saw that variant cover for Blackest night, but i...I saw that variant cover for Blackest night, but it was for double the usual price, so I left it. Pity though. It's a brilliant image.<br /><br />Did you see Wednesday comic this week? The Supergirl strip features Aquaman, looks like he's gonna be in it for the next few weeks.
