So wanting to control the story and what happens makes sense, still could have been the opening for next issue and not the ending of this one. G;ad tp know Remender had a rational reason for it.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-56023564270395309352011-12-19T18:20:13.307-05:002011-12-19T18:20:13.307-05:00I'm going to write a post about this on Thursd...I'm going to write a post about this on Thursday, but I had the same reaction you did to the end of this story. At which point, I read an interview with Remender about the ending of this, where his reasoning for not just straight up killing Angel was "its comics, we all know he'll be back eventually, this way I can control it and get a good story out of it." <br /><br />This might not be the strongest storytelling choice, but in today's market, it actually makes a shocking amount of sense. So as long as Remender is controlling the character we can count on this tabula rasa situation, which I'm fine with. Its making the best of a bad situation if you ask me.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446748180947198729noreply@blogger.com
