Four pages from today's Wondy.

So, the sea monsters from the preview attack the island. The amazons fight back. Ares shows up.

WHUT. She won't kill Genocide, but she will kill Ares? She can kill Ares? Since when? He's the god of war. The whole point of him is that he outclasses her as much as Clark outclasses Jim Gordon.

They're on Thalarion at this point, and Zeus shows up and is all "be a wife and mother, and oh I killed Kane."

When WML does a better Polly than Gail, something is badly wrong with the universe.

... yeah.

On the plus side, I've had to cut back on luxuries recently and I've been waffling over what titles to cut, and this makes that decision easier at least..

re: the steakhouse

I definitely understand your position on that and why you would be tired of this scenario and why this comic frustrates you.

re: Jason Todd

My point isn't so much about how Jason's death affected Bruce, but how it affected Jason's own story. Bruce's big thing is that his parents are dead. Jason's big thing is that he had a crappy childhood, became Robin, then died. Being brought back to life didn't change the "literary legitimacy of his brokenness," as you put it upthread. That being said, there are plenty of arguments to be made about Jason's characterization post-resurrection which may or may not support that, I know.

Anyway, point is, Jason coming back to life doesn't change the tragedy of his life or make it any less tragic. Annnd I am rapidly losing brainpower and will have to pass out soon. This has been fun, though. =)
