Damnit, and last year was so good about not killing off major superheroes.
Hell the only major super hero who got killed off last year was nightcrawler.

Why should anyone even care about a comic book death anymore?

WHY?! I hate superhero deaths/Rebirths more than anything else in Comics x I don't get the 'down with return to life' attitude of comic-book readers. Why? Because this isn't a singular story, or a centralised narrative. It's ongoing. Some titles over sixty years strong. With dozens and dozens of writers. Focused on individuals who can do amazing things. When a character dies it's sad because their heroism means they go out in a blaze of glory... but at the same time, their return is important because it's something unattainable in the real world. In a comic-book, people come back from the dead. I just... I find that oddly comforting. And I say that as someone who's seen people I love die, and would - if I had the power - have gone to Hell and back to stop that from happening. The main characters in comic-books have that power. Personally, I'd be disappointed if they didn't use it and accepted death as readily as we did. Real life is full of heartbreak and the sad nature of death: comic-books using escapism and retcons just makes me smile. |

I called that one as soon as {Spoiler}one of the new Spider-man costumes was revealed to be a FF version. If he joins and that isnt just a cover for cash in value costume, I drop the book. Don't care that Hickman has made the FF more interesting than they have been in a long time, if that character was to join up I would be out. Like Wolverine, I just cant stand seeing him anymore. |

Big deal. X will be dead and THINGS WILL CHANGE FOREVER!!!!
Then in a few months/years X will be back and everything will be right as rain. Comics are worse than soaps for this kind of stuff.

Any chance of knowing how the death happened?
Did a supervillain get the kudos or was it a self sacrifice dealy?

Did a supervillain get the kudos or was it a self sacrifice dealy? {Spoiler}The tragic saga of “Three” has come to an end in the pages of FANTASTIC FOUR #587—and The Human Torch has fallen. John Storm sacrificed himself so that his niece and nephew as well as his best friend, The Thing, could escape the Negative Zone. |
