Trying to avoid prejudging and the stories themselves might be good... But isn't it more than a little trite/contrived to be inserting "Original Sins" into characters pasts for the sake of creating stories tying into an event miniseries called "Original Sin"?
Not that this is what we’re doing, but how is this any more trite than creating any new story for the next issue? This is what we do, month in and month out.
