Anything Neil Gaiman touches is GOLD. Sandman has to be one of the coolest comics I read in my youth.

Sorry. I fell out of like with DC when they started ret-conning most of their characters. Me and my fiance went to see The hobbit and saw a preview for the new Superman movie....we looked at each other and just shook our heads 'no' at the same time.

As a Tolkien purist, it had a lot of little things that annoyed the crank out of me. Overall good, but not something I want to see in the theater again unless I need another Dwarf fix.

Now back on topic! :D

Could you at least tell us what the comic is? A huge one like Batman, or something indy?

At least DC had the brass to kill off their bread-and-butter superheroes. Albeit a huge FAIL on the Batman side of things. His father? Really? What a way to disappoint.

And when was the last time that a superhero stayed dead?

Marvel is great and exciting all around, but DC doesn't have much to offer besides Batman.

Based on what I've seen of his work, I believe that Alex Ross is a very good artist - one who ranks with a number of comic creators and artists.

This reminds me, I must look up another edition of "Spirit of Truth" on ebay, as I have a fondness for Wonder Woman.

I cannot post the video here due to it's "questionable content", but if you want to go out of your way to look it up on YouTube: Smosh if superheroes were real

I personally can't stand these morons, but my kids think they're funny.. Every once in a while, they lay a good egg.
