Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen Special #2 REVIEWED: The Death Of...

Have you heard? Someone dies here.

I'm not the biggest Jimmy Olsen fan.  I respect his place in the history of Superman but he's always been an annoying kid to me.  Why should he, of all people, get their own Superman Signal Watch?  What makes Jimmy so special that he gets one?  Now I'm sounding like I'm jealous, but I'm really not.  I'm surprised Lois never got one.  Or maybe Superman is just constantly keeping an eye on her.  
 
In the first Jimmy Olsen special, he started uncovering some info that got Assassin on his trail.  What happens when he uncovers more about the secret project?
 

  
Are you aware of who 'dies' in this issue?  I really don't want to give it away but it's a big one.  Will the death stick?  I have to say that James Robinson and Bernard Chang did a great job with this issue.  I'm almost ready to change my mind about Jimmy.  The combination of art and writing did a superb job.  The end of this issue was really suspenseful for me, even though I knew what was going to happen.  There's just so much more to this story now.  I really looking forward to what happens next and the reaction of others when they find out this character was killed.
