Check out a full statement from Waid below.
Serialized drama, especially in comics, is all about perception of change.
Its about the journey the story.
Thats what weve been saying since we announced the book.
But its about the story.
Its about getting there and the journey to and from these dramatic moments.
Im not spoiling anything by saying Betty doesnt die and that shell eventually get better.
Things change, things swerve back and then change again.
But its about the story and how we go from here to there.
