Johns loves Morrison's writing, and yet respects his need to work out his own ideas. Is his love of 7 Soldiers great enough that he will reference the space-time oddity surrounding Slaughter Swamp and tie-in the Black Goop to the foul re-animating waters taken from the sunken Cauldron of Youth within the swamp...or will he respect Morrison, as well as his own talents, and just think of his own explanation, leaving 7 Soldiers in that blissful zone of something which doesn't need to be constantly touched on?
