Description
...NO BREWS!!! Actually, these two pages were from a Green Lantern storyline that was an extension of the term "Women in Refrigerators", which was coined by writer Gail Simone as a name for a website. It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 (1994), written by Ron Marz, in which Kyle Rayner, the title hero, comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed in a refrigerator. In 2004, Marz revisited this scene. Green Lantern found what he thought to be his mother's severed head in his oven; this was later revealed to be the head of a mannequin (this is part of the storyline pictured here).

Cases of 'Women in Refrigerators Syndrome' deal with a gruesome injury or murder of a female character at the hands of a supervilliam, usually as a motivating personal tragedy for a male superhero to whom the victim is connected. The death or injury of the female character then helps cement the hatred between the hero and the villain responsible. Kyle Rayner is a particularly cited example of this case, due to the common tragedies that befall women in his life.The term also encompasses the depowerment of female comic book characters as a plot device (yes, I though of all the words above myself...ok I typed them...OK I CUT AND PASTED THEM!!!).

And this leads us to the FINAL PART of SECRET CRISIS!!! Three more pages to go (I wanted to make this a 36 page spectacular) until the CHILLING END!!! SEE YOU NEW YEARS EVE (I may even see you twice...stand still both of youse!!!)
