They returned just so that they could die - after being used as plot devices

Remember when Hal Jordan came back to life, only to be killed off shortly afterwards, in The Final Night crossover back in 1996? Well, reading this topic on Howling Curmudgeons, I was reminded of that, when thinking of how both Jean Loring and Max Lord were apparently brought back into view in the DCU just so that they could be used as plot devices, and then killed off, in both the series/miniseries in which they were appearing. Or so it seems.

Now is that creative writing?

IMO, the answer is simply - no.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
