Default First Few Pages of JLA #38....Robinson Can't Help Himself (Spoilers)

Seriously, what the fuck is it with DC killing off old JLI characters? And Robinson especially.

Super-Lame!

Robinson is becoming the DC equivalent of Jeph Loeb.

Okay, let's practice with some toys first. We'll probably only get one shot at this.

Wait, so after all that drama of his survival of a planetary holocaust way back in the JLI, he gets gratuitously shuffled off here?

Ugh.

And, much like the Global Guardians deaths there's no REASON for him to die. There's no reason for him to even be in the story. Just gratuitous

THAT, right there, has made my day.

It IS missing the tragic and misunderstood monster figure for them to push off a cliff though

Killing characters for the heck of it is still somehow seen as visceral and "edgy", that's why these guys do it. (which of course it stopped being as soon as it became such an easy and convenient cliche to portray "edgyness").

These days they even rely on the excuse that someone's bound to revivie the character a few years later.

So he's not dead then? In that case...well, it doesn't really make up for everything else he's done since CFJ began but at least that's one thing less to be annoyed about.
