[Crazy Jetty]

I didn't even know they killed Nightcrawler.

And yeah, I believe it was Johns that wanted Barry back. He's got a major hardon for the silverage, and has been working like crazy to return the status quo to the silverage. Which is the biggest (And almost only thing) I don't like about him.
I have nothing against the silver age... other than the fact that we don't live there anymore.
And most of who I used (Like Torch) were just examples. Batman, Torch, and Cap seem to be pretty much meaningless deaths, just to push sales. And the writers had every intentions of bringing them back pretty quickly.
(I find the deaths on DC's side, like Martian Manhunter to be a bit different since they were part of building the Blackest Night storyline).

So, most of my post was a really elaborate and awkward way to basically say "I agree with you."
