Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

The most pointless DCU deaths
The blog of Gone and Forgotten writes up a list of several of the most terrible, bottom of the barrel deaths DC's featured in the past few years. Until now, it hadn't been clear to me, but the Three Dimwits - Winky, Blinky and Noddy - a variation on the Three Stooges seen back in the Golden Age in the Flash's adventures, were among the victims of the editorial mandate in the Cry for Justice miniseries. This is another example of old characters being brought back only to see them slaughtered.
I never liked about killing off Psycho-Pirate, since he was supposed to be the only one remembering the original COIE. Oh, well. I do agree most about Lian Harper's, as it was done to make Roy more angsty. Pathetic.
