re: Thor 607, Kelda & Bill
I’m still dwelling on Bill’s death. Yes, a measly human was one of the most interesting aspects of a comic about gods. Usually I’m not particularly enthralled with supporting casts either, but JMS did such a great job on the Bill+Kelda thing. And then he died… I wonder if that’s what JMS had planned or just some random emotion-jerker that got shoehorned in?
Either way, I am extremely pleased that the current writer isn’t just letting that thread flounder away like so many other strands of gold lost to Limbo.
Here’s a scans_daily thread on the scenes from 607 (also where I copied the image below from). Unfortunately, I don’t feel like paying $50 a year to be able to comment, so I was unable to express my sentiment in that thread.

So, here’s one for you Bill. *pours out goblet of absinthe*
You were brave enough to love a goddess, won her heart, then died to save her kinsman… most who probably didn’t think twice about you.
Hero.
Also, in this rare case, I’m actually hoping for an imminent comic resurrection.
