Which Recent Superhero Death Story was the Best?

Wolverine's end is nigh as the first chapter of "Three Months to Die" kicked off comics' latest superhero death storyline. Of the major superhero deaths from the last few years, which one do you think resulted in the best story?


Vote on the poll here.

[FanboyStranger]

Hellboy should be on the list. It's also far and away the best.

Nightcrawler! Died heroicly in an awesome fight scene

That was a good death story but I plumped for Ultimate Spider-Man. Really close call between the two for me though.

[Alvarez]

Human Torch for me.
Johnny went out in a blaze of glory... literately.

Also, the fallout from his death and the mourning was really powerful.

[BushidoBlade2]

Ultimate Spider-man Peter Parker. Although it was a little too melodramatic for my taste.

So Rogue and Scarlet Witch are not major superhero deaths????

People have the tendency to overlook Uncanny Avengers.
Which is a shame.

Ultimate Spidey. it's hard to make comic deaths feel impactful and emotional nowadays but Bendis nailed it in that one

[Rok]

I Don't get the love for the "death of ult. SM" story. I respect what Bendis tried to do, and what he wanted to do with Miles, but DoSM was a bad story. The giant plot hole that is Norman Osborn's resurrection just drags down the book.

I voted for the watcher, I Original sin seems has me hooked.

[Metamorphosis]

Surprised at how high regular universe Peter Parker's "death" scored. That story line was shit.

[Emeraldnite]

Is there anyone who actually thinks Ultimate Cap is dead? That was one of the most cliched "we can't find his body, so he MUST be dead!" comic moments I have ever seen. Even the other characters didn't acknowledge it in the moment (everyone was sad about Thor falling into the void)! Cataclysm-The-Ultimates-Last-Stand-5-Spoilers-Survive-5.jpg

Ultimate Peter and Damian top my list.

I can only Vote for one or the Other between the Ladies? Really that is Near Impossible choice, both were equal in sadness in my book.
