I am kinda curious on how these gambles gonna play out. Personally, previewing such events make me lose interest as '' Oh somebody gonna die ? thanks for the spoiler ! '' since you will probably focus on ''who'' rather than why and how..which is a bad way to do it really. It feels like ''death'' is the selling point and for me it sounds morbid and weird....
It is all good and well to tease about it but focusing on the issue so much will make the rest of the story kinda weak in my opinion. Kirkman has a thing for these 'deaths' just look at Walking Dead...but question is how long can he keep up with killing characters a portion of the readers like and then they turn around and say '' Well he is dead, no need to read it anymore'' ... Sure it is part of the setting in Walking Dead but still when you read 100 issues and you have grown to like a character..only for him/her to die ...well that would cause my interest to crumble down.
I guess I look on How AND Why when it is about 'Death' issues.
Ultimate Spiderman kinda worked since he did what he wanted to do, protect his family ...and accomplished it. It was a good way to go I think ( although I am still sad about it , especially with the late Spider-men issues .. ). If the story can deliver that purpose on '' this guy died to save millions ! '' or so , then go ahead but if it is like '' #100 issue ! Time to kill someone '' ...then I am sorry but that is a morbid use of ''death'' as an attraction which I find it quite ...weird.
Well hopefully , it will be a tasteful ( as tasteful as a death can be ) issue and won't be like any of my predictions. Maybe we can see the actual twist of '' just kidding, nobody dies ! '' now that is a twist I never saw in a long time since Death kinda lost it's shocking element in comics lately...Now surviving actually cause me more shock ! Ironic , huh ?
