^^ I have been reading the Batgirl issues of this story arc. The last page of Batgirl #17 was pretty gruesome. The story concludes in this weeks Batman #17. I think I may know what you mean. If so....yeah..what ?

 
I read a preview that basically gives away the end of the arc and I'm pretty sure it's gruesome as hell if I have it right.

*POTENTIAL SPOILER*

It seems like the Joker is going to serve him Alfred's corpse on a plate.


*END SPOILER*


Ah, modern DC ... I'm so glad I avoid you like the plague.

New Star Wars comic
Time

I downloaded a copy and gave it a look-over awhile ago. It was in Spanish/Italian/Portugese, though, so I couldn't actually read it, per se, and can't really give an informed opinion on it.

That said, its obviously the introductory chapter in a longer storyline and not a complete, self-contained story in and of itself. I personally do not go for the decompressed, six+ issue storyline virus crippling modern comics, so I'm personally glad I never got the chance to waste the money buying it.

Inconsistencies, retcons, and other problems between the PT and OT or within the PT

Vader routinely says "The Force is with _", a practically meaningless statement considering that according to the PT, the Force is simply a certain concentration of organisms in a person's blood.


When Qui-Gon commented on the midi-chlorians, he said this

Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force.


Notice that he says that without midi-chlorians, life would not exist and there would be no knowledge of the Force, not that the Force itself wouldn't exist. It clearly makes the case that the midi-chlorians are meant to be conduits to the Force, not the source of it.

I'm not saying midi-chlorians are a good idea - I have my own reasons for disliking them - but it's not a good idea to use a flawed argument to make a case against them.
