Ordinarily, I'd be right with you guys with the gore, the death, etc. However:
1) Johns brought him into this world, he can take him back, too. 2) Speaking of which, they'll be back. By next issue. :p Besides, the characters have the reincarnation gimmick, now. They get a "get out of Heaven" free card, similar to Phoenix, thanks to said gimmick. 3) Their power levels rise via DEATH? Oh, sh--!! 4) I actually like the motivation of the bad guys: they're hunting all the people that have come back to life. And boy, there've been a number of them. 5) His nose. Jesus christ, what's up with Ralph's nose. That's...that's NOT twitching. And I'm scared.
