Dead Universe AGAIN? They keep saying 'Biggest Event Ever' and building up to things, only to reuse the same idea over and over... Ah well, it's still enjoyable to read, so I shouldn't complain too much, but it would be nice to see them do something truly new.

Yeah, gotta agree with you on that. I'm sure there'll be something special they haven't alluded to yet.
