or being doused in chemical products,
or being the last from your kind,
and so forth :P

Date: 2011-11-09 10:54 pm (UTC)Now, if Peter's death holds true to form (as in, Ultimatum), and he comes back in two years, sure, I'll go get back issues and trades.
But right now, no. I think Miles is a fantastic character, and I love him as Spidey. But it was completely unnecessary to kill Peter to do this.
Unless we're talking about mainstream continuity...where it'll never happen because the only things people are willing to change are not white guys...

And yes, there IS indication that Peter won't be coming back from the dead - mainly from Bendis saying that he has no intention of bringing Peter back, ever, as it would cheapen his death. He's said from the beginning that he knew that if he was going to do this, it would have to stick in order for it to be meaningful. And yes, it is very necessary when deciding to focus on a new character to do retire the old, either by making him a supporting character or having him go out in a blaze of glory.

no subject
Date: 2012-01-19 11:46 pm (UTC)except Gwen Stacy, who died and came back.
and Green Goblin, who died several times and came back.
oh, and Beast, who died, came back, and died again.
and in recent Ultimate X-Men, (SPOILER) the possibility at least of Wanda, and more recently Professor Xavier having some life after they 'died' has been teased (although, granted, one looks to be mere hallucination and the other might well be a fake out).
"So that won't happen" just means it won't happen until it someone decides it SHOULD happen, and Bendis has been as guilty of that as anybody. My point stands, especially considering we have already seen other clones of Peter in a tube (before Peter's death) that haven't yet been dealt with in continuity, IIRC.
IF they wanted Peter back, they could pull the same sort of thing they did with Gwen... a clone with all his memories. To most people, that would be enough of an excuse.
I agree Miles is doing great so far though.
