Man, this was a big week for death. It seems like I bought more comics this week that featured someone’s death than ones that didn’t. The majority of the deaths took place in three books: 52, Criminal and Marvel Zombies v. Army of Darkness. 52 contained the deaths of Isis and the Monster Society of the Four Ages of Dread of Apokolips in its Anguished, Bloody Morning (or something). Criminal featured many deaths, including a rather unpleasant heroin inhalation scene. MZvAOD contained the deaths of, well, pretty much everyone except Ash. The Batman family had a hard time preventing civilians from getting killed this week: four people were murdered in Nightwing and who-knows-how-many were killed in the explosions in Wayne Tower. The best death, of course, was Captain America, which the Legion discussed earlier this week.
