    Interesting video from 1992 at an Ohio Con talking about the then upcoming Death of Superman arc. Good interviews with John Byrne, Roger Stern and others.

    It's almost hilarious how seriously people took character death back then. Or, it's tragic how nonchalantly we take it now. I'll get back to you on it.

    John Byrne pretty much nailed it. It was true then and its true now: in comics, no one dies forever. I did laugh at the guy around 4:52 who thinks the character death thing was a flash in the pan. Boy he hasn't seen nothin' yet!

    Can't feel it.

    Born in the century that resurrection is the first word that comes to mind after death, I can't see the tragedy behind it.
