Surely she'd be part of the Captain Marvel package? I really liked her in the 60s playing Doctor Bellows with Boobs.

That's the joke. Not even the one that's supposed to stay dead stays dead.
(And it lead to one of the greatest titles of the year in Captain America stories lately, too!)

I got it, if it makes ya feel better M'rk.

So far Captain Marvel and Uncle Ben are still dead... but that's about it. Even Barry Allen is back.

I may be lost, but how did you get that they were killing off Carol from just what happened in Dark Avengers #1.

Osborn replaced her with a look-a-like yes, but I keep getting the impression that it just meant she was going to go "Rogue" and join up with the other Avengers.

Granted I haven't been reading her solo title (I'm really behind.)

But unless this was announced somewhere else, I'm still having trouble leaping to ger death based on Moonstone masquerading as her.

Update:

I just found this over at Newsarama so I'm guessing this is the story the OP was initially referring to.

^Marvel are openly flaunting her death now.

In her own book, she is going after Norman Osborn because of some things that happened while she was in the Air Force and then the CIA before she gained her powers.

My only real hope here is that she is going to fake her death in order to fully go after Osborn.

FreezeC77 · January 26 2009, 11:22 AM

Wow this sucks. I really love reading about Carol, not just Ms. Marvel. It should be a 'baton' to hand off and just put someone else in the suit and then read their story.

Captain America is a different situation because they went with Bucky which had a tie to it. If they had put some bad guy in the suit and then had him become Captain America and the focus on the comic I'd be WTF? about that too.

They are really trying hard (maybe too hard) to sell this whole "Dark Reign" thing.

Hermiod · January 26 2009, 11:31 AM

How do they think their readers would react if The Amazing Spider-Man was suddenly about Mac Gargan ? The reaction to Brand New Day wouldn't even be close to it.

I don't normally get upset about comic book storylines, I even accepted Brand New Day, but this is my second favourite character and they're killing her off. Most of my avatars on here are from Ms. Marvel covers, I look forward to reading her book every month.

Marvel - you already killed Cap, just let me know when you're going to do the same to Spider-Man so I can stop reading your books.

JoeZhang · January 26 2009, 12:00 PM

meh - the fact that it's explained so casually in an interview tells me it's just a fake-out. Even if she died, so what? she'd get better.

Rouge is my favourite character! I love how his red power ring can do so many different things, it's like a magical swiss army knife!

The 80s were great. Captain America kept wigging out and slaughtering mobs of people. They knew how to replace Captain America back then and keep it interesting

Yes. Marvel Studios. Remember when they formed their own studio? Just so that they could stop licensing their characters to studios who had no idea why the property they just licensed was popular and assigned someone to revise it for the big screen?

Well then, how about learning to spell her name correctly then? R - O - G - U - E.

Rouge is a type of make-up.

It's a common mistake, true. But if she's really your favorite shouldn't you show her the proper respect of spelling her name correctly?
