I am very disappointed in the comic book industry’s preoccupation with killing characters. There’s nothing original these days about it. It’s a boring marketing ploy to build market share. I wish Marvel and DC would just steer clear of the killing of characters and focus on character development and penning great stories that keep the characters fresh and relevant.
At this point, Captain American has been ‘killed’, now Johnny? Over at DC they’re mopping up the mess bad writers have made killing off characters over the years in their “Blackest Night/Brightest Day”.

Please bring Johnny back and avoid the killing…

I have been reading FF now for years and when i first heard that one of them would die it shattered me. I am literally floored to see Johnny gone. But what destroys me inside is the iconic 4 symbol replaced with a disturbing 3 symbol. Not good at all. I just hope when they bring him back (which they obviously will) it will be something big to justify killing him off. The only good thing i can say is i’m glad it wasn’t The Thing. That would have literally killed me.
