–Ah, you know the rest. Death of Doctor Strange #1 is hitting stores on Wednesday from Marvel Comics, and as the title states, the titular doc will bite the bullet in merry Marvel fashion. Of course, shockingly killing off a popular character in a super-mega-crossover event named for killing the character is one of Joe Quesada's 22 Cheap Sales-Boosting Gimmicks That Always Work, a list of tried and true methods of convincing comic book readers to buy comics unrelated to the actual experience of reading them. You know what they say about comic book readers: there's one born every minute! Check out a preview of the issue, in which Doctor Strange is clearly in fact alive. Of course you know it won't last because… in this comic, Doctor Strange WILL DIE!!! There, we said it.

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
