So I recently re-read The Gauntlet and specifically "Shed" (the concluding Lizard arc). While I had good memories of the story at the time, I definitely see why it was controversial and why Billy's death was kind-of/sort-of reversed. I understand that they may have been trying to do something different with the Lizard, but for me even understanding it wasn't actually Connors killing his son, it more or less made the character irredeemable, which is somewhat counter to the point of the Lizard to begin with.
What were/are everyone's thoughts on the story?
