Any One Want To Talk About Comicbooks?

Haha. Flashbacks to Jay and Silent Bob.

... Recent deaths or other casualties I'm aware of to date:...Did I miss anyone?

Spoiler, Robin's one-time girlfriend and very temporary replacement, at the hands of Black Mask.
Blockbuster, perhaps, shot by Tarantula. Penguin had his corpse stuffed and mounted, but since when has that ever stopped anyone?

Recently, we got to see Sue Dibny (Elongated Man's wife) raped and murdered in the pages of Identity Crisis....

Just to clarify, she wasn't raped and murdered, as in her murderer was also her rapist. The rape took place years before her murder at the hands of a completely different individual.

I collect only graphic novels and trade paper backs now (and have been doing so for about 6 years or so). The quality of comics in that format has gone through the roof this decade. Some really amazing stuff. Box Office Poison, Blankets, Brian Michael Bendis's True Crime stuff, Queen and Country, the Complete Bone, and tons of other stuff...

I was going to buy the Complete Bone and then see that they've gone and started to re-release it in color.

I'll wait for the Complete Bone in color now.

I find the Authority's violence refreshingly honest. It gets to the heart of the revenge fantasy/power fantasy that underlies most comic stories. Plus, I like seeing things like a good flying man fly through a bad giant man's skull.

I would agree with you but that level of violence is never returned to the Authority. Whenever they've been knocked down, they're never finished off. It's like they're fighting stupid people. "Well, they just killed one hundred of our best soldiers so let's split before they get really mad."

If you're going to go with the killing routine, go all the way and have the villains occassional wipe out a hero or two along the way.

Dunno. They already have. It's about four times more expensive. Anyway, I think it looks much better in B&W.
