Dammit, I liked Nero. I always thought he was underused or poorly used. (Even by Winick, who came up with him in the first place.)
You'd think Tomasi, of all people, would have had the sense not to whack such a potentially interesting character.
On the other hand, Blackest Night. He'll probably be back up and moving before the Alpha Lanterns can dispose of the body.
And maybe we'll finally get an artist who's imaginative enough to draw the sort of nightmare-inducing phantasmagoria that should always have been spilling out of Nero's ring.
