R.I.P. Wildstorm Comics

There's just a handful on my pull list, yet

I still read news today that makes me sad,

That fills me with more than just some regret.

Wildstorm's no more, and this is really bad

For comics lovers, even if such scrapes

Cross not your radar. I, for one, don't see

Myself enjoying Astro City's capes

A-flying with DC's. It had to be,

They'll doubtless say, but independence lost

Is always worth the mourning. The Big Two

Already bore me vastly; at what cost

Do we preserve the indies ere we're through.

Is Vertigo the next to go? I can't

Bear more such thoughts right now. Instead, I rant.
