>>1494016291. Why did Skottie sideline Duncan so hard after Revival #10 anyway? He does not appear and I don't think he is mentioned at all for the rest of the second run, and what makes it so jarring is that #11 follows immediately after #10 where Duncan was vital for Cloudia to travel to the real world.
2. I think nuGert fails for 2 reasons
a. The second run sold itself on the premise of Gert now being an adult and returning to Fairyland, with a tag like "The Hate returns", and a main cover by Skottie young with Adult Gert front and center, and the other Skottie Young covers for volume 5 being the main covers. When nuGert replaces Gert it feels so pointless, and it does not help that pretty much by that point onwards (Revival #6, nuGert kills adult Gert at the end of #7) Skottie did not do any cover except for a TWD 20th anniversary variant cover until Happy End Game, and even then, he only did the main cover for part 1, the rest are variant covers.
b. nuGert adds nothing to the series, nothing about nuGert is unique, she is just kid Gert from some point between Volume 1 #11-16, Why not just have her be a Gert who timeline wise is from before issue #1 who now has to adapt to a status quo she is completely unaware of? Like only one story (The return of the Gertlings) does mention that she and Adult Gert are different characters.
