TwitWatch:

had a dream last night that Alan Moore and I killed @richjohnston with copies of @dodgemlogic. odd – though the worst bit was me making a cup of tea for Big Al n I mid way through the carnage….we even had cake. – Khandie Kisses

MillarWatch: Mark is getting a bit of a reputation now isn't he?

There are no stunt doubles here. Not every character is up for this kind of punishment. The final frame of the issue alone required a great measure of personal sacrifice on Riley's part.
