I think at the time I felt like she had snapped so badly that she was pulling them to herself without realizing. But if that was the case, you'd think Wolfman's narration would mention it.<br /><br />Having read much further since I wrote the above, I've learned that Changeling stays in denial over Terra for quite a while, continuing to believe Deathstroke corrupted her all the way up into the "trial" issues in the fifties. I like that; it would do a terrible disservice to this storyline and to his character if he'd simply reset back to normal an issue later.<br /><br />Interesting info about Geo-Force. I know I've seen the green costume, but I never realized he kept it for so long. I'm aware, though, that he's back in the brown by the time of the TERRA mini-series from Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Amanda Conner in 2008 or so, which introduced a new Terra. I read that a while back as part of a Power Girl-a-thon, and plan to post about it at some point this summer.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-75449030268716740462015-04-20T16:30:42.039-07:002015-04-20T16:30:42.039-07:00Wolfman and Perez did an uncommon thing keeping Te...Wolfman and Perez did an uncommon thing keeping Terra a villain to the end. Some would argue that there really isn't much motivation for why she is what she is, but then to paraphrase TDK Joker: some people just want to see the world burn. Wolfman's answer that there is no answer is rather relevant these days. It's sad seeing how in denial Gar is, jumping to Terra's rescue believing she has broken free from mind control only for the gal to set him straight. "Why?" A similar response Donna makes when Terra reveals the whole terrorist-hostage past was a fake.<br />Y'know, perhaps Tara's feelings for Brion were actually genuine, and that her rants in this issue were due to insanity.<br />I'm rather confused by what Perez is getting at with Terra's death. Is she attracting all the rocks to herself, or are they falling on her?<br />Although the ending implies the other heroes were in the dark about Terra, BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS Annual 1 would reveal Batman told Brion and the gang the truth. Brion, heartbroken over this, nevertheless pledges that it changes nothing in his brotherly love for her. However, her betrayal and death causes him to forsake his brown costume. Fortunately, Batman made a green-and-yellow suit for him to wear from then on. I don't think Brion puts on the brown suit until he had a recent reckoning with Deathstroke just before the New 52. The latter tried to make Brion his disciple, with Geo-Force confronting him at the alley where Joey got his throat slashed. Eventually, Geo-Force slashes his own throat with a sword, shocking Deathstroke with deja vu, leaving him vulnerable to getting himself stabbed by G-F (both survive). The reason I'm relating this story is that it actually uses the panels of Perez's depiction of Joseph's hostaging and injury from the TotTT#44.angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
