Well, that probably explains the hidden corpses on the November cover.

Fortunately, they've got room for two more statues.

Somehow I don't think any of these characters will be staying dead after Blackest Night.

Hal Jordan will get the power of all the rings, become the White Latern of Life and bring everybody back.

That's three Titans. To be fair I thought the first two died in the Titan West Special a few years ago. The third one was more or less made useless due to his forced depowerment as a fallout of the Reign in Hell Mini. I think we are starting to see the creative differences that force Sean Mckeaver to leave the main book and only work on the back ups.

I'd guessed the second one but as for the first...NOOOOOO! I loved her, she was awesome and kick ass! So of course, she's killed off, as is EddieDoubtless to make room for more original Titans to come back, so a series called Teen Titans can have as many 20 somethings on the team as possible

Dove, aka Dawn Granger, is the same Dove there's been since the late '80s. And she's fine, as of this week, anyway. The way Johns adopted her back during the last JSA volume, I doubt he'd blow her off so cavalierly.

I really don't know how you could have parsed James's post the way you did, but then, I don't know how anyone could find all this nonsense anything but laughable, so clearly I don't know everything.

I'm sure that will happen for a FEW heroes. But there is no way EVERY BL is coming back to life.

This gives further credence to the "mass resurrection" theory, in my humble opinion. Even if this is a predictable plot point, I sure as hell hope it's what happens, because otherwise this will go down as possibly the most death-crazy DC event ever.
