   I want to go on record as saying; I HATE this part of the story!

      It’s one of the things I like about Aaron’s deconstruction (and reconstruction) of the super-hero myth, it’s taken semi-realistically, but not cynically. While things (and people) always go bad, there is also usually hope and people doing the right things in the end.

   And while I’m pausing on this page during this reread…

   I love how Aaron’s mastery of the form does so much with so little, in panel 5 both the Revenant and Tyler look unsure that giving swords to the kids is the right thing, and Aaron achieves this with minimal changes to their faces. It’s masterful.
