By d. emerson eddy — Hrrm. Influence, homage, legacy, lineage, and parody in comics can be quite an interesting thing. When you've got long-running recurring serial characters, it's inevitable that there will be cycles and returns as creators who were once fans of original stories and characters borrow from them in their own stories. We see it time and again, and we see it here in The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #1, from Jeff Lemire, Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, Chris Sotomayor, and Willie Schubert, in a very unique way. The Question started out as a Randian exploration from Steve Ditko.
