Okay, I really like this, for a lot of reasons.
1) Lovecraft reference. Night Gaunts live on Apokalips? Hell yea. (It also makes a great excuse to throw really strange things into Call of Cthulhu games ;)
2) Granny Goodness? With characterization beyond "Muahahahaha! I'm EEEeeeevil!"? Fascinating.
3) Goodness was hot when she was young. This notion disturbs me.
4) How did a hot black woman turn into an old white woman? Jacksonisation?

	She's not really black. If you look, the color is consistent throughout, and everybody's that color (including old Granny at the end). Apokolips is just...poorly lit? Motto on everything else, this is a really cool story. (Reply to this) (Parent)
