R.I.P. Northstar
So Northstar died last week.
I'm pissed off.
Another reason why I hate Marvel.
Northstar had all the goods. But somewhere in the Marvel offices they decided to use Northstar as a sacrificial lamb for good drama. Like Hawkeye, Antman, Jean Grey, to name a few, all these characters meet their maker (some more than others) just to make the story seem bigger than it is. I'm not gonna lie and say I know all about the current story line in the X titles. I lost interest in the X-books (or Marvel for that matter) after the whole "Onslaught" fiasco. But was it really necessary to kill off Northstar? I know he'll be back... (hello!... Psylocke?) I just hate the idea of killing someone for story's sake...
And before I get yelled at. Yes I know, DC does the same thing. Superman, Wonder Woman and Troia where killed off just be brought back. The Difference? Both companies are guilty of killing for stories sake. But DC means business these days. They're telling stories that go past a story arc. That's the difference.

I forgot - the picture you posted was of Northstar dying in The End. So, it's a given that he'll be restored in the current continuum, right?
Augh! It's just upsetting.
