Oh, crap: Marvel kills its last superhero, scrambles to fill next month’s comics

June 21, 2014

ASSOCIABLE PRESS: After the highly publicized "Really Final Death of the Fourth Spider-Man This Year" storyline, Marvel Comics has publically admitted that they inadvertently killed their last remaining superhero, and must scramble to find new story ideas. "We relied for so long on 'Death of' stories, which seemed the most natural way to drive kids in the comics shops, that we didn't realize that we accidentally killed all of the heroes that our fans love. We even killed Wolverine, and that dude's freakin' hard to kill!"

In the interim, Marvel will continue to publish Greatest Deaths and Amazing Funerals, containing reprints of the highlights of the previous decade of Marvel Comics.
