I have three characters I love at Marvel. They've killed one and brought him back (cheapening his sacrifice - and I do feel the same about Barry over at DC). At least Colossus is back.
Spider Man is not the same character I grew up loving. He would never make a deal with a devil to achieve his ends. Never.
And now the X-Mens latest casualty.
With this latest character to be killed. I have no reason to read Marvel.

I can't believe they would kill this character! I'm sure a certain poster of utmost to this board can't either. I think it disrespects a certain departed creator's legacy, as well.
However, I will say that the odds of this death sticking forever are incredibly low. Death at the Big Two is about as permanent as the ever-changing tax laws, if not even less so.
In any case I guess it's somewhat of a mercy killing given how the X-books have sucked for such a long time. If he's gone for awhile, at least the character won't continue to suffer from the poor writing and bad directions like the rest of the X-Men I grew up loving.

Since I'm not enjoying any of the X-books these days anyway, I checked the spoilers. I'm not all that surprised. My expectations for the X-comics these days are so low that this fits with their recent performance.
If anything, I'm with Lardy: I don't take this seriously as a long lasting death and am almost glad it removes him from the table for awhile while the X-books further fall into suckiness for the next few years. I'm about as emotionally charged as I was when Martian Manhunter died in Final Crisis: a big "yeah, right". A stupid editorially decision that will eventually be undone. The over/under is 2015. I say under.
On the other hand, I find the X-Books so unenjoyable that I'm kind of with Power Boy: let's see some wholesale slaughter. Starting with Cyke and Emma.
The X-Books have sucked for a long time. This is like post 77 on the non-existent LW thread entitled "101 Reasons not to buy an X-Men comic these days".

I thought I'd give this whole 'second coming' thing a try.. and over all, i've just been incredibly shocked over all the needless death.. Is this what the X-books are about now?

Who else died? Go ahead and spoil. I have the issues in my stack waiting but I'd rather get spoiled on LW than read them right now.

I doubt Madrox is really dead. But the other X-Factor one is surprising.

They were hired by The Absorbing Man to follow Titania to see if she was cheating.. they were all in a car and slaughtered by one of those Mutant hating groups. They made a point of showing that Madrox wasn't a duplicate.. and they checked the bodies.
Could be a ruse, I suppose.. but it looked pretty convincing.
