Nightcrawler And Death

Tom Brevoort on the treatment of death in Marvel Comics.

some readers have read comics for long enough that they realize that most deaths get reversed at some point. And they're cynical about it. (And often unhappy about the benching of a character that they liked.) And so they like it when the characters are equally cynical—if nothing else, it poisons the whole story, and in so doing maybe makes it more likely that the character in question will be brought back more quickly.

But it's junk writing. And it's aimed at the smallest part of the audience, at the expense of the largest.

And today's Nightcrawler #2.
