Disturbing yes, however, need I remind everyone that Blackest Night is not intended to bring back to life any dead characters. So, don't count on Terra sticking around.

Secondly, in answer to the solicit's questions:

SHE'S A ******* ZOMBIE!

Ghouls in Fallout 3 are one thing, they're people with skin cancer, severe radiation eating skin cancer, BUT TERRA IS A ******* ZOMBIE!

For God's sake! Do they really think Gar's that ******* stupid?

Covers are misleading. Hell, we saw Gar's reaction to this sitch in the O&O, waaaay different then what this is intending.

*looks at the cover*

Ugh, nononononono, they can't make him THAT stupid. I mean, yea, he was torn up for at least half of the Deathtrap series, but he sucked it and went back to his old self.

See, this is why I think a lot of people don't like the modern age of comics and prefer the Silver age, at least its mentality.

Too much friggin angst!

I got no problem with angst. Hell, they can try to make every hero under the sun more dark and brooding all they want (which I highly doubt they could), so long as the plot rings out.

Gar "going back" to dead ex after being dumped by Raven, NOT RINGING OUT. Plus, it kinda kills off any development Gar had after getting over the fact that Terra's nuttier then squirrel ****.

....uh, no Squirrel Girl pun intended.


Honestly, this Blackest Night thing is starting to reek, and not just the rotting zombie flesh. XP First there's this, then we get Dick's parents coming back just as soon as he put the cowl on.

You know, this cover wouldn't bother me nearly as much (which would still leave me very bothered) if it weren't for all the zombie slobber...

I mean, he's kissing a reanimated corpse. Isn't that disturbing enough. Does it have to be some sloppy, Pavlovian, undead kiss? (not sure if Pavlovian is the correct way to express derivation to Pavlov)

Anyway, are we to believe that This is what is going to happen to Gar instead of him kissing Atlee (as the omen suggested) or is he going to be locking lips with both of them?..

That was to throw us off.

Obviously this is what the omen meant. Psychic future crap happens like that. Its confusing, its muddled and in the end it never happens as pictured.

Maybe it was an artist error. If they'd switch her hair from black to blonde, I'd bet no one would notice the difference.

If anything, this "kiss" thing is much like preview we saw with Rose about to stake Cassie. At first I thought she'd goin beserk, but afterwards it turns it she and Cassie were just settling things out.

This sitch kinda sounds like a goodbye kiss before she tries to kill him.

Hmmmm, do you think that the principle of the "dead can still die just by chopping their head" would apply to the Dead Corp.? And is it wrong of me to hope to see that happen to her?

Chances are theres gonna be some big "You have to kill her Gar" moment where he'll do just that.

While theres nothing wrong with wanting to see zombie Terra die, considering she is an evil psycho bitch in the comics, its could come across the wrong way to others.

Don't spread the sentiment is all I'm saying Ghetto. BB/Rae shippers have survived this long, no need to gloat over the inevitable destruction of Terra by her Titans compatriots.

Although, if I'd be so bold, this does kinda prove BB/T is in fact a DEAD ship.

Lame pun, you may all boo.

BBxT isn't really the reason I want her gone, I just plain don't like the character, even before we knew she a backstabber. I got a few others on my list, but with way most of the Titans are get brutally murder, I mind as well show some sympathy.

Plus, it seems that the only people that would come across as wrong about her would be fans of the AS Terra.

That is possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a comic cover. Zombies making out is just... ew.

And not just because I find Beast Boys red/white costume horrific. Really, who honestly thinks that looks good?

I think the intention was to gross you out. In fact this may be the grossest BB/T picture ever made. If this was the only exposure anyone ever got of BB/T and the the TV series never existed it probably never would've been as popular for that short period of time as it was... although considering the way shippers act I wouldn't put it past some people to... you know... actually pair zombie Terra up with someone anyone in fact.

Shippers are weird like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if fanfic.net already has a few stories based on just that...*shudder*

No kidding. I understand that they are trying to allude to his outfit he wore during the new teen titans (which was derived from his doom patrol uniform) But it didn't even work then.

With his green skin and hair, that incredibly bright red makes him look like a blasted Christmas Tree.

For my money. BB's best uniform was his white and purple number during Geoff's run. His OYL uniform based on the cartoon version was fine too.

The only good things about his new outfit is: 1) no shoes, which makes it a bit more feral and 2) the paw prints on his shoulders (however those have dissapeared in the last several issues, so they're probably long gone...)
