Deathmate - Does Anything Significant Happen?

I think Bruce will fit in here just fine!

No doubt about that.

It all makes sense now!

Then you had Red shipping so late (purposefully no doubt) as a metaphor for the time it takes the courts to settle everything and for that first child support payment to be made.

Brilliant.

Bruce, that review of Deathmate is nothing short of inspired. It's like life gave you *SQUEE* and you made lemonade.

WOW - Just -- WOW!

I have to admit I went into this with a bit of hesitation but --- WOW!

This story is the perfect analogy of a real world blending of two families that are coming off of bad divorces. Image artists with Marvel and Valiant with Shooter. The chaos of both of these events suddenly finding themselves thrust together for better or worse to try and make it work and obviously it didn't.

Just like a real blending of divorced families - some children get along - some don't - some get lost in the shuffle - some rebel against the change and turn bad. Archer is a prime example of the later.

As so often happens in this day and age the marriage does not work out and leads to an inevitable dissolution. Deathmate's inevitability -- the end of the universe. This story goes to the extreme in this process to the event that Social Services (Solar - Darque - Supreme) have to step in and try and save the children and their destructive behaviour.

It leads to a confrontation with the parents of this new family (Void & Solar the Explorer) and Social Services. It finally comes down to the legal system (Union) with evidence or in this case energy from Solar to come to the decision to divorce the parents and stabilize the lives of all involved with little or no consequences.

So in essence Deathmate is a social review of the struggles that can arise from the blending of two divorce families that not always are as compatible as they may think they are.

- Ok I read it and really I have no f*(^ing idea what the point of it was.

For the effort you put into actually reading Deathmate, you are a bigger man than I. For the thought that you put into this post....... about Deathmate......, you really deserve something. No one has ever given Deathmate this much thought or made this much sense out of it.

I have some other stuff I have to pack up so PM me your address soon and I'll send you a Deathmate gold for your contribution to this thread....... about Deathmate.

In Blue I am pretty sure that Ross Perot is the President of the United States. Does that count as significant?

I'm reading Deathmate again - for the first time (with Red), and the thing that sticks out to me the most is that it killed Valiant - and not Image. Bleah.
