I’m still hoping against hope, but there are a couple of things happening that still make me nervous that Kory is on the chopping block. Firstly, of course, is that she’s apparently leaking plasma over in 52 (and it’s been mentioned before that not all the space-faring 52-nauts will be coming back).
The other clue is the recently released cover to Teen Titans #47. Let’s see: a Titan dies, and we’ve got Donna Troy and Nightwing in the mix. That means it’s an old timer. Cyborg is standing there, so it’s not him. Donna is front and center (and in her old costume, so I guess I can stop reading the current Wonder Woman arc) and always considered Kory her sister. I’m not sure who else it could be (Lillith, perhaps? Changeling? Tempest (burying Aqualad in the ground would be funny, I have to admit)). Perhaps it’s Jericho, though I can’t imagine they’d kill him off so quickly after bringing him back.
Apparently, Teen Titans #47 also ties into the Amazons Attack event, so perhaps it’s one of the Titans who joined up during 52, but I can’t think of any that would rate a cover tombstone. The solicitations seems to imply that the Titan expires in that issue, which would mean that Starfire doesn’t die in 52.
Or it’s all a big fake-out. Probably not, though: every event needs the surprise death that makes us think that this event is more eventful than the last. That ploy’s been a cliche since the 80s.

Alas, Lilith is already dead. She was killed in the Graduation Day mini-series by an out-of-control Superman robot, and while she was temporarily reincarnated by Brother Blood in the current Teen Titans series, her soul returned to the afterlife at the end of that arc.

If I’m ever put in charge, I’m re-instituting the “no one returns from death” policy. I get so sick of major events that get undone a year later. Donna Troy was extra annoying, because she went from D-lister to the Most Important Character in the DC Universe. Ecch!

I had forgotten that Lilith had already died (by the same method as Donna, even). The roses on the cover (if they are roses) might indicate that Rose Wilson dies, but I’m not aware of any relationship that she would have had with Donna (and Jericho would have been on the cover).

Are you still read the current Wonder Woman arc? I haven’t seen another issue, I thought that DC forgot about it.:)
