i'm like if death of the endless was a normal teenage girl and not a infinitely powerful being and the personification of death. anyway this issue sells for A LOT and i'm assuming it's just because of her appearance.

“I’ll find something to win. Even when I’m dead.” That’s so Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor ve Death gibi şahane karakterlerin diyaloğundan oluşan bir sayı için hayal kırıklığı denebilir, ama ben yine de eğlendim.

Hikaye Lex'in Groot tarafından vurulması sonucu uçurumun kenarına düşmesiyle başlıyor. Ardından "cansız" bedeni etrafında ruh olarak, genç bir kadın görünümündeki Death(Ölüm) ile konuşmaya başlıyor. Başta o olduğuna inanmadığı Death ile hayata geri dönmek adına pazarlık ederken buluyor kendini sonrasında. Ama pazarlık sonuç vermeyince yaşanan diyalog şu oluyor:
"Lex:
-... Başımı etmeyeceğim.
-Kimseye.
-Yani.
Yapman gerekeni yap.
-Göndereceğin yere gönder.
-Bir yolunu bulurum.
-Kazanmanın bir yolunu bulurum.
-Ölüyken bile.
DEATH:
-Lex. Bu o tür bir konuşma değil.
-Bir şeye ön hazırlık falan değil bu...
-Öldüğünü sana hiç söylemedim ki.
-Ama yakında göreceğim seni."

A little better than the last one.

Death is easily the best part of the issue. The added Jimmy story feels tacked on like it’s supposed to be a teaser, but it doesn’t get me interested in any of Olsen’s other stories.
