Two pages from Justice League of America 31, and the story behind them
In the latest issue of JLA, there's a short scene between Red Arrow and Black Canary. Those pages have an interesting behind-the-scenes story to them, as Dwayne McDuffie revealed on a message board some time back.

Why a simulation of a graveyard, you perhaps wonder. Here's your answer.

Some readers were discussing the fate of Hawkman and Hawkgirl in Final Crisis and whether or not they died. McDuffie chimed in with:

I wrote a scene set at their gravesite that I recently had to quickly rewrite into something not very good.

Which prompted the following exchange.

Reader: Do you actually enjoy writing JLA? It just seems to be constant editorial rewrites and bad art.

McDuffie: No, I don't.

	They got caught in a giant explosion. This was originally supposed to kill them; they actually got a mention on the memorial page at the end of Final Crisis (which also had Batman's cowl and J'onn's tomb). DC decided to revert this decision at the very last minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If McDuffie actually expected that to stick he's was very naive. THey were important characters in ongoings. Batman had just gone through a series that was supposed to kill him and J'onn was only appearing in various minis(and being at least slightly OOC.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you know, there's "no death in comics is permanent, except for even Bucky" resurrection, and there's "trampoline in the grave" resurrection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No use of strikethrough tag? Sheesh, IJ. (Reply to this) (Parent)
