don't think she's a zombie (she's always been on paler side) besides zombies would not regenerate limbs.

she said the spell before she actually died. so i think it was a fake out.

So Nico is now undead. It's not that it's implausible considering the things that have happened in her own book (weird since she couldn't bring back the dead but that was pre-witchbreaker so I dunno) it just seems so tacky.

One could argue she wasn't actually dead when she casted the spell. People have prounced clinically dead for a few minutes before pulled back to life, the staff probably did the same thing to regenerate her.

Heh. I'd forgotten Nico needs to shed her own blood to cast spells.

Before she reached the staff, she was bleeding out from the lost hand and compound fracture, and then she cast one last spell.

I probably should've seen that coming.

I thought blood just made the Staff of One appear and she needed painful memories to cast spells. Did that change later on or am I remembering it wrong?

Kinda glad that Nico's death was a fake-out but... Juston's death was really the breaking point for me and this title. Maybe if he and Mettle somehow came back.

Frankly, it really doesn't change the fact that her death 'scene' really wasn't that good at all. Having just watched "Attack on Titan" through to Episode 9, It basically does this sort of death a hundred times better, and it all has to do with characterization, focus, and the amount of time taken to make it work.

I'm not going to say a thing one way or another until I have more data. It could be good, but Hopeless could still screw this up.

If she is back, I am glad she is, but I have this feeling she's just going to splat herself against Apex again.

However, I find it interesting that they publish this a week after the big kill and major backlash hit, skipping over the preview for #11 entirely for this.

From: [personal profile] theflames
Well honestly - having this preview up so fast is just indicative of the amount of *noise* people were making over her 'death' (which could very well still be her death).

Fans of this series are pretty chill and patient, but the detractors aren't and this was more fanning for the fire, so I can see why they released this preview just to make things simmer down.

Hopeless hasn't changed anything, or brought her back simply to appease people, he already had this is mind and planned but I guess underestimated how acidic the reaction to this all could be. (check the dudes twitter for fun use of the word 'hate')

Gotta say I'm relieved, I knew a resurrection was possible and even likely given the nature of her powers, but Hopeless' comments on twitter made me worried it would have to happen in a future book. And that could take years

Even if that's not exactly Nico in the driver's seat, possession is just a temporary ailment in comics (unless you're Polaris)

So I'm pretty excited to see a super charged Nico kicking some ass (also I'm glad Walker is back)

The Staff pretty much *is* sentient. Even during Vaughan's run, there was an indication that there was something going on with it, and then during Moore's run in Volume 3, a demon basically pops out and devours an old acquaintance of the Minorus because he picked up the Staff of One and Nico didn't.

I didn't mind the violence and blood. I actually looked at that and thought "Hey! Someone isn't dying from a neck injury!"

I disliked it because it was dull, badly done, out of character and, frankly, relied on everyone involved acting like idiots above and beyond what the scenario would induce, in order to occur.
