Marvel, this is the last fucking straw.

Well it was either him, Cyclops or Wolverine.

Cyclops then. Gladly.

Agreed.

And don't hate the penciler, they only do what Stan pays them for.

I wasn't talking about the penciler, but the writer - or were you making a joke?

Or they could have had some guts and killed Wolverine off. For good this time. I don't think his healing factor would cover getting hurled into the sun.
Anything but Nightcrawler.

]I worked under pencilers for a while, they have to go through some shit between the writer and the producer, so never blame anything on them.

And even with the writers, a lot of times, especially with an arc, it's a collaboration between several and they have to come to a consensus. It's actually hard work. I mean, if the producer goes, "KILL SOMEONE IMPORTANT", the writers go, "Well, shit...pick a card." And then they argue for 3 months until they can pop out a draft and start laying into the penciler.


...On that note, I'm waaaay behind on MSY thanks to traveling and sewing. Yay.

You should have seen me a few years back when they killed Psylocke. I wanted to write hate mail.

Wolverine's time is coming, much like Superman and Batman.

I like Wolverine a lot more than either of those two.

[The Wizard]

I really like Batman. And they already killed him. Except they retconned it so he went back in time.

...Every post in this thread seems to be making me angrier.

[BadBeast]

Didn't they already kill Batman in "Red Reign"?

[Epimetheus]

Obligatory mention of Jean Grey / Phoenix.

since we're talkin' bout superhero resurrections.

[Suu]

Superman was killed too.

So was Captain America...and a dozen others. I'm pretty sure that Wolverine also killed Rogue at one point in time.

[The Wizard]

That's what really bothers me. Death is meaningless in comic books. And without death, all the suspense is gone. I've been reading miniseries becuase in those at least people usually stay dead, and if they come back you're able to be surprised. Kurt will come back in three years maximum. Which is what is really enraging.

[Thurnez Isa]

I was killed six times.... and only twice did I come back as a machine.

2/3 of you deserved it. The other 1/3 had no inherent morality.

Where does he fall on the Sorting Algorithm of Deadness?

Yeah, Batman's cool, he can mix it with the best of them, and he has no superpowers! And he's as mad as a bucket of frogs, but manages to stay out of Arkham! (mostly)

[Jasper]

Batman is an asshole.

I'm serious.  Look at the way he acts.  People's parents get killed ALL the TIME, and they don't go on a mad vigilante spree.  They cope.

On top of that, the amount of money he spends on "Bat gadgets" could stop more crime by just making poor neighborhoods wealthier, and improving schools. 

And pretty much the entire rogues gallery exists in some form because of shit he did.

Face it, batman is a jackass.  Fuck batman.

[BadBeast]

So what's he supposed to do? Just sit back and be a philanthropist? Not much Superhero plot fodder in signing cheques for good causes, is there? And the Wayne Foundation does lots of stuff like that anyway. And he even gave Judge Dredd as good as he got, in Judgement on Gotham.
And the rogues gallery? Batman isn't responsible for them being bad, just for them being caught, and taken to book! Batman is the Dark Knight, he sets the moral bar for the whole DC Universe, he's NOT just an asshole!
