When people talk about their dream superpower, two suggestions usually dominate the conversation. On one hand you have the creepy pervs who would like invisibility and on the other, you have the ostentatious showoffs who would like to be able to fly.
Necromancy, however never really gets a look-in. Probably because it’s super dark, but I still think that’s a shame. Imagine being able to bring creatures back to life. You could spend some more time with the family dog that you had when you were 11 – before he managed to get into the chocolate cupboard. Or the cactus you had on your desk – y’know, the one that died because you didn’t water it enough and you’re kind of ashamed to admit that to anyone because who the hell manages to kill a cactus anyway and really if you can’t keep a cactus alive you probably shouldn’t have adopted that cat but it’s way too late because you’ve got a five kilogram bag of dry kitty bikkies on the way from Amazon and the litter tray is all set up already.
The superpower I REALLY want though is video game necromancy. I want to be able to revive dead franchises. Let’s get a Gregory Horror Show 2. Or a Jazz Jackrabbit 3. Screw it, where the hell is my modern-day Raw Danger?
