Does anyone else think that lately marvels been a bit trigger happy and killing off a lot of character eg. Headsman, Nightcrawler, Cable and now Bullseye. I'm sure their are others that I know about, do you think their doing this to bring out new characters? is it just for sales? or did it really help with the story?
They did a few years back with the Avengers (Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Captain America, Ant-man, Vision) to sell books and then brought them back to sell more books. The new characters that they have created have no staying power, the just can't create characters like the classics. I don't think they have the talent. Plus, I don't think they have the talent for great stories, so they kill a few characters to help sell the story.
