Beetle's death appears more permanent<BR/><BR/>B. No one is currenly ALLOWED to bring Beetle back.<BR/><BR/>Guy's death made no sense (as the "killing" blow was not one that should have been able to kill him), and Loeb did not appear to clear it with everyone, and certainly did not have an editorial mandate to do so, so Joe Kelly saved Guy, like, four months later.<BR/><BR/>Here, the death made sense (he was shot in the head. Fairly common sense that he would die from that), and there IS an editorial mandate that he NOT be returned (As Winick states, "I would be really pissed if he returned, but I figure, a decade from now, the next generation can do whatever they want.").<BR/><BR/>The problem with that, is that, forget the NEXT generation, writers were using Blue Beetle WHEN HE WAS KILLED OFF.<BR/><BR/>It is just an absurd waste of resources.Brian Croninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223181857448999287noreply@blogger.com
