Or – “The Long And Winding Road…” I know that I’ve used that title before, but I make no apologies. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee I’ll do it again. As the Beatles last single, their last #1, and the song recorded during one of, if not the last sessions that the band did together, (the day after the legendary concert on the roof of Apple Records)  that record pretty much serves as my touchstone for when things inevitably end. I used to try and play it as the last song of the last shift of each semester in college radio…

Or – “Resurrection: Not Always A Good Thing.” There’s a tendency in comics for characters to return completely unscathed and unaffected by a seeming death, leaping back into action without even referencing their demise. But, as Stephen King or Rod Serling can tell you, the thought of someone returning from the grave can be a much more complicated and terrifying prospect. Heroes can come back, after all… …but sometimes they come back different.

Hey, ‘member that Doc Savage bit we posted yesterday? Yes, it is Doc Savage, and yes, I was correct about that shadow on the wall being The Spirit. How do I know? I took the jump!
