that's the catch-22 of it all. it's like, is it better for Duke to stay in the book, continue to be mishandled, and possibly end up lost to obscurity due to the treatment? or should they just have him taken out the book, run the risk of obscurity anyway, and hope for someone else (that may never come) to take him on? 12 issues in and it feels like Duke is in worse shape now than when Hill got his hands on him.
