"“This is uncharted territory for us,” Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso told the Daily News."

No it's not. You've killed characters off plenty of times.


""Fans may be outraged, and there are probably ‘Hawkeye’ writers who I'm very good friends with who will also be offended," said Brian Michael Bendis, the writer of the "Civil War II" event series. "But the point is that everything that happens in this issue is in character when you discover the hows and whys and wheres."

Only according to your retcons and ability to ignore everything else in the Marvel Universe.'


"Right now I can tell you this is the real deal," says Bendis. "I can't speak for the future, I honestly can't, who knows what will happen? But I already have plans for the body (in upcoming issues.)"

He'll be back around the time there is a movie that features him.

So next year, then.

Y'know it'd be great if Marvel would realize that outrage and offense aren't the best/only reactions you can get from an audience.

It's getting kinda irritating that "Let's make the readers mad!" seems to be catalyst of every friggin event Marvel has anymore.

It's kinda funny that between Ta-Nehisi Coates expressing concerns about the killing of War Machine and Bendis knowing that he's going to piss off other writers with this Hawkeye thing, that Bendis' reaction to professional critique is apparently to go "It's fine. Surely I shouldn't reappraise my storytelling decisions when questioned by other pros."
