Something that doesn't know it's alive obviously can't be expected to know when it's dead.

Joe Hill - Dead-Wood

[beneaththeicyfloe-blog]

After you left--not right away, but after a summer had passed--I took down the alder we used to read under, sitting together on your mother's picnic blanket; the alder we fell asleep under that time, listening to the hum of the bees. It was old, and rotten, it had bugs in it, although new shoots still appeared on its boughs in the spring. I told myself I didn't want it to blow down and fall into the house, even though it wasn't leaning toward the house. But now, sometimes when I'm out there, in the wide-open of the yard, the wind will rise and shriek, tearing at my clothes. What else shrieks with it, I wonder?

As a fig fan of the last volume and a growing fan of the new one I'd say track down the pre new 52 version first as getting to see some of the old characters appear was a thrill that you don't want to miss out on, the appearance was a cool surprise

seconds! if u have the time(please please have time) check out the pre52 version first its totally worth the time and nu52 version is only 5 issues so far so you have time to catch up
