No way! You'll miss out on all the fun!



No they don't.

They tell stories for the long run.

Are you thinking of Kyle Rayner?

But still, usually, there's at least a year between such a hyped death and the resurrection.

But he was resurrected in an even more hyped event!

ugh Dracula really??? I could do without him. Him and the whole X storyline he is involved in is useless.

But that shit's not written by Fraction.

Fraction has a slow-burn type storytelling approach that doesn't have enough dead zombies/husks or flying in space for some people's taste. Maybe you're in that group.

Slow burns are fine, Emerald Warriors being a current example. But that implies that the story actually burns, and moves along at a good pace. "World's Most Wanted" began to plod along a few issues in, and the story overall was loaded with padding (not to mention some laughable plot points). I'm in the group that doesn't like seeing a story stretched out just to fill multiple trade paperback collections, which is what this needlessly long story was written to accomplish. In fact, I'm sick to death (no pun intended) of the zombie fad and other current superhero tropes. You can get to the heart of a story without cliched action sequences.

Taint no German writing this.

Huh? Fritchman is indeed writing it. Not sure if he's German, though.

Good thing it didn't run for thirteen issues then.

Sorry, twelve. My mistake. My point still stands that it ran far too long.

No. But still a character that as of now I couldn't give two shits about. And I love vampires
