This didn't occur to me until I was doing the Year In Review posts, but Original Recipe Mitch Shelly caught a break.
When the Mitch we'd been following through the series was told it was time to go, with either Suriel or the other fellow, he handed them the Evil Mitch, the one who ran the Lab instead. The reasoning being they needed the soul of Mitch Shelly to balance the books, and this guy was Mitch Shelly, too, and just so happened to have a soul. And Suriel took him. Not happily, but she did it. The Resurrection Man found the loophole and exploited it.
However, that means Evil Mitch wound up in Heaven. That's who Suriel works for, that's where she believed she sent Good Mitch in issue 5. So the original Mitch, who was such a scumbag even Deathstroke could barely tolerate working for him, went to Heaven.
I noted once that based on the Spectre's arbitrary and nonsensical decisions on who to take vengeance on (ignoring the Joker or Luthor in favor of his human host's son), God in the DCU must be an idiot. If this Shelly situation is any indication, things aren't any better in the new DCU.
