Right now, it sounds totally unreasonable from her part. And the defense "well, she probably has her reasons" is totally unreasonable as well.


I think it's completely reasonable to have an emotional reaction to something that concerns your family members. (Maybe even to reach toward the extreme in expressing it.)

I think, in this case, she has every personal right to be offended, and I don't think I need any better reason. Agree with her, disagree with her, whatever else, I think it's poor form to second-guess anyone else's motives (unless you happen to be that someone else).

Speaking for myself, I think it's sort of odd that within the small community of comics, particularly with family members still working in comics, that Buscema's family wasn't contacted. Not that there was, or should have been, any formal (or legal) obligation, just that it seems -- strange.
