NO SERIALIZED NARRATIVES. <strong>BAM LOOK HOW AWESOME I AM. 1\/1<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Given that (OH GOD PLEASE LET ME BE RIGHT OR ALL OF THESE ARE WRONG), I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to predict for single issues.<\/li>\n<li>One will be a horror story, or at least something unbelievably scary\/creepy. <strong>Not really? Some bleak, unsettling shit, but nope. 1\/2<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One will be purely comical\/funny. <strong>Not really? Funny stuff <em>in<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0them, but they&#8217;re all fairly serious. 1\/3<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One will address Satan. <strong>what. 1\/4<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One will address Loki. <strong>i wish. 1\/5<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One will address the Faerie world. <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>why did i even try 1\/6<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li>One will bring back Shakespeare. <strong>what the fuck 1\/7<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One will concern one of the Eternal. <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>this is the most pathetic prediction I have ever made. 2\/8<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Two issues will use DC characters. <strong>Okay, Johanna Constantine and Death. So that actually counts, right? 3\/8<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Jesus, I got nothin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 else. <strong>Damn right<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, to make this <em>somewhat<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0possible, I had to look up the name of volume 7 so I could order it. <em>Brief Lives<\/em>. Okay, so here are my thoughts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s about Death. I hope?<\/li>\n<li>I think this volume will be serialized, but each issue will concern a different character or &#8220;life.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Can I just start listing things I <em>want<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0to see? Like I need to know who the hell the other Eternal is.<\/li>\n<li>I also want to know what Dream is doing with Loki and Nuala.<\/li>\n<li>I just spent fourteen minutes on Tumblr because I have no fucking clue what else I could possibly say here.
