Immediately. At midnight ET, the New York Daily News, in a publicity agreement with Marvel Comics, ran the identity of the individual who will meet their death in Avengers Vs X-Men #11, and the circumstances in which it occurred A picture of the aftermath And the AR code to that New York Daily News readers could[...]

And this week's regular delve into its archive, appropriately enough with the news that DC will be publishing a new Sandman series, is our interview with Chris Bachalo about Death, published in TRIPWIRE Volume 1 #11, published way back in Winter 1995… [issuu width=420 height=298 backgroundColor=%23222222 documentId=120729143757-6f1c6101ac4f4f72a44b735a31a8b92d name=bachalo_feature_winter_1995 username=richjohnston tag=bachalo unit=px v=2] x [...]

If you have a story about a character's death that's relevant and story-driven and means something to the universe, then let's talk about it Same thing with resurrection I don't want characters being resurrected willy-nilly unless there's a great story That's how Colossus came back because Joss Whedon had an incredible resurrection story. It would be[...]

Death Divorce Globalisation protest Archie Comics continues to give more of a real life take on modern society for a young audience than it may have done so in the past, and in the process making the likes of DC and Marvel look like old fuddy duddies. In the new Life With archie, which has explored[...]

As Superman gets near death, he takes on a sand like appearance; and he is cured by exposure to kryptonite that doctors brought in to weaken Superman's skin for surgery The doctors are baffled at why the kryptonite saved Superman, and it is never explained In fact, it is only the stories after the sand[...]

We're not interested in accidentally spoiling the issue for you, so we look forward to you coming to us after you've read the comic in question. Good luck. *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER ***[...]

That's what every young boy wants waiting for him under the tree come Christmas morning, the corpse of Optimus Prime. The new one shot from IDW, Transformers: The Death Of Optimus Prime will do exactly what it says in the tin Kill off the Autobot leader at the final end of the Autobot/Decepticon war. Written by John[...]

This is one of those curios when a forgeign license has a different market and publishing schedule. Marvel is to publish a collection of the Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death Of Spider-Man in November. But Panini/Marvel UK is to publish the same volume three months earlier, in August. And they are also publishing something that Marvel US seems[...]

 But as the readership is realizing with reboots, we seem to be at that tipping point where we've stopped eyerolling (…so much) about deaths/replacement/rebirth cycles as overused storytelling devices and embracing the reality that they are an artifact of extremely long-form, massively multi-character storytelling. As for who else is about to be tossed into the mainstream media spin-cycle[...]

We love a little mindless speculation here at Bleeding Cool Towers, looking at the comic in front of us, their plans, the current social climate and

The revealed cover to Ultimate Comics Fallout #4 gives us a number of questions. Pascual Ferry on art? A flashback to Amazing Spider-Man #50's "Spider-Man

Little Bleeder Brandon writes; When I bought USM 160 this week I decided to get an extra copy. In the stack of black bags one was clearly a shade lighter

The current Ultimate books before the relaunch, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vs New Avengers have been running a multipart crossover storyline The Death Of Spider-Man Which as everyone knows by now, results in the death of Spider-Man. But it's a crock Or rather the multi-part storyline is, rather At the beginning we saw[...]

So I've just picked up this week's comics from Orbital in London and I'm on the bus. So lets have a look inside the bagged Ultimate Spider-Man #160 and

It says something that a story arc in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and in Ultimates Comics Ultimates Vs New Avengers entitled "The Death Of Spider-Man" needs spoiler space for its concluding episode. But, nevertheless, despite the comic in question, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #160 being polybagged when it ships tomorrow, so as not to spoil the surprise,[...]

Mike Choi is auctioning the entire original artwork for X-Force #26, the issue in which Nightcrawler karked it, for sale on eBay to benefit the Red Cross.

After the events of Death Of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Universe, there will be a new Spider-Man No longer Peter Parker And here he/she is And because the NY Daily Post digital people haven't quite worked how to get the image online yet, here is the exclusive online image from Bleeding Cool. UPDATE: Looks like Marvel[...]

Some readers have been curious as to just how the current Ultimate arc, The Death Of Spider-Man will, in anyway, involve, well, the death of Spider-Man as both titles Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Avengers Vs New Ultimates, don't seem to have that much of a connection. I understand that both books, Ultimate Comics Avengers[...]

The final issue of the Death Of Spider-Man arc in Ultimate Spider-Man will be polybagged – just as with Fantastic Four#587 to hide the ending from being flicked through instore or presale. Ultimate Spider-Man #160 will be published in July and threatens to be the last issue, you know, alive Unless of course there is a[...]

Yeah, so this was really the day to read comic books all about death and mourning. Both Fantastic Four #588 and Amazing Spider-Man #655  take the silent approach. The first, in the wake of Fantastic Four #587 and the death of the Human Torch, sees the team and the family suffering the death individually in their own[...]

And unlike the Human Torch, neither are deaths that anyone should expect to see reversed And I'm going to spoil them by talking about them Saying the things I didn't say when reviewing these comics So look away now Spoilers. Look away. Look away. Look away. Spoilers. Good. In Knight And Squire #5, not only do we meet The Joker, as[...]

The main stories are the same length but Amazing has that little extra debut of the new Venom. But let's look at the Ultimate issue first, a prelude as it is to the Death Of Spider-Man (Ultimate version) And, unlike the first issue of the arc already reviewed, it actually has Spider-Man in it And Iron[...]

Well tech blogs do this kind of thing with phones, and computers and things don't they? I thought it might be fun to do the same with the Fantastic Four death issue… There are spoilers Big ones You only have yourself to blame if you press play… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8It0atNXBE[/youtube] [...]

Karl at Orbital Comics in London, holding the death issue, while supressing a tear. The one thing I wasn't expecting about the death issue of the Fantastic Four is that we wouldn't see a death in it Just the reaction to one. This is a story about last stands of so many people Reed Richards against Galactus[...]

And death, death, death. So What do we think? The three favourite theories are a) the Death of Ben Grimm (my own gut bet based on Marvel's usual policy of distraction, seeing The Thing solicited as appearing in other future comics, along with a lot of Thing reprint projects), b) the Death of the Human Torch, based[...]

It does exactly what it says on the tin.

So, Marvel announce the Death Of Spider-Man – but aha! It's the Ultimate Spider-Man! Fooled you! Is it me, or was Ultimate Spider-Man actually meant to die in Ultimatum, was indeed pronounced dead, but then in Requim was suddenly found alive And now he's dying again Did something go a little skew-whiff in the planning? Anyway, it;s[...]

…DC Can Kill Anyone Better Than You. On the DC blog earlier today, Austin Trunick posted the headline "Doomsday Will Reign!" with the following image that famously portrayed Superman's death. Just after Marvel push their Spider-Man death cover of Marvel Previews for February books. Girls, girls, you're both pretty… …DC Can Kill Anyone Better Than You. On the DC[...]

Before working myself slowly downwards. They recently commented on the fuss caused by Wonder Woman killing ex-JLA leader Max Lord… And posted a rundown of every other death-at-the-hands-of-Wonder Woman they could find, as if to make a point Here is a small selection… She does like to go for the head, doesn't she?
