It's odd, because I don't even want to read most of it myself. (And I liked the Young Jedi Knights series for a while.) But I did like this one very much.

I can't talk about people staying dead, though. I never want to leave them that way either. ;) (Of course, certain parties have pointed out that comic book resurrections would not have reached the point of a joke, if comic book deaths or "deaths" were used more prudently, with less of killing off "for effect" or just to get rid of them characters everyone should know will be wanted later. I'm sure the likelihood of resurrection or retcons makes people feel more free to kill them cheaply, too, though.)
