Someone spoil the Batgirl thing! Is she dead? What happened?
Also, same thing with Speedy? What happened there? Latest Green Arrow (haven't read it yet)?

Dr Light blew up their HQ, with Black Lightning, Connor, and Mia inside. During the most recent issue, we only see Black Lightning and Connor, Mia is MIA, supposedly still buried under the rubble.
By reading Infinite Crisis 4, it would appear Air Wave is split into a million different directions, as he screams. I would think that would put him on the "dead" list, except he also uses his powers in Firestorm #21 to help Donna tell Jason's dad that Jason/Firestorm died.
According to the sequence of events in IC4 however, Air Wave fizzled before Jason died. Based on that (and further events in Firestorm #21) it appears they will both "get better". This is good news, because I've always liked Air Wave, and have always thought he was underused/underdeveloped. On the flipside, he's been a bit whiny lately...

I get nervous when characters we haven't seen in a while show up during a major event. It never bodes well for them...

How did Firestorm die? It looks like he just burned out somehow -- is that really it? He exhausted himself to death?

That's more or less the explanation in Firestorm 21. Used too much power, Jason survived but his buddy Mick is gone. Looks like Jason will return but with an old friend Click Here For A SpoilerProfessor Stein in his head with him.

I'm enjoying the cutback on heroes. The gruesome deaths this issue were a guilty pleasure, I admit. And it's hard for me to get excited about Supes when there are a dozen powered aliens running around. Batman stopped being special the minute he got a family, Green Arrow got a family, and a slew of other avg humans popped up.

That was a different writer. I think this may end up sticking for awhile
And from dccomics.com Crisis Counseling, SB Prime only took out Bushido, Pantha and Wildebeast. Red Star is still alive and so is Risk. No mention of Airwave so I guess he is still good to go.

Click Here For A SpoilerShe was stabbed through the chest while fighting the League of Assassins (I believe by Ra's other daughter, though I mostly skimmed it. At the end of the issue, Stephanie (Spoiler) comes down in a field of white to 'welcome' her. They leave it hanging there.
It looks like she's dead, Jim.

A very abrupt ending for a 'big-deal' character though it seems. They *have* to have Bruce address this for it to have some semblance of legitimacy too (as a story).
