Ultimate Spiderman #160 Death has lost its shock

I remember when Superman died. It was a big deal. Then Batman had his back broken. Hal Jordan became evil, We went through a dozen or so Flashes, they even ripped Wolverine's adamantium out at one point. Wildstrom killed off most of Stormwatch, (I clearly was the only one who cared) and they even cloned Spiderman before and tried to pass off a copy. In the Star Wars books, they've killed Luke (again a clone) and Chewbacca. So I'm sorry to say, I'm not impressed.

As an aspiring writer, I get how at some point a writer has nothing else to say about a character. But that's what made comics so great, a writer could take a character through a story arch or several and then move on, adding depth to the character and passing on a wealth of knowledge to the next writer. Any time a writer stays on too long, they end up going for the end game. It's not in the spirit of what an ongoing comic is. It's a publicity stunt and a cop-out. I'm sorry but I've read enough "Death of.." stories. If you want to kill someone, create a character and write the story. More comic writers need to go the Frank Miller route and create, instead of hijack.
