This Is Getting Weird.

Every time a single sentence about Barbara’s rehabilitation appears, I get the same parade of people who have decided that’s the entire answer, and nothing else will be explained or shown.


It’s a little odd. In issue one, Barbara says that she’s part of a ‘miracle,’ and, it’s hard for me to even say this because it sounds so odd, but that led to a fury of people who decided that was it, that was the extent of the story.

Honestly, guys. Does anyone here REALLY think that one word in issue one and a sentence in issue four is the end?

Really?

Because I find that baffling in the extreme.

  19. athenaltena said: I think it’s that people are very used to handwave explanations, so they assume that’s what’s going on. I have enough faith in you as a writer to know you wouldn’t do that, but comic fans seem to be cynical in that regard.

  21. wingnutlady said: I believe in you! For my two cents, I’m just enjoying the title. Babs is possibly my favorite character of all time and I think it’s in no small part to your work. I trust you’ll do her journey justice.
