AUTHOR'S NOTE: This blog has been superseded by my Culture Shock blog.
Joe Quesada tells us to expect two members of the Fantastic Four to take a dirt nap, as in "these people actually die," which is a problematic statement given how we're not talking about people at all but characters -- characters at a publisher that is known for resurrecting the dead on about a quarterly basis (e.g., Bucky).

When I run that statement (the "two FF members will die" one) through my "Joe Quesada BS Filter" I get "Crystal, She-Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot fans had best prepare for a shock!"
Isn't Wyatt already dead?
Isn't Wyatt already dead?
That's "Old Marvel" thinking. This is the new, improved Joe Quesada Marvel, where just because a character is already dead, that doesn't mean they can't kill him again.
Only those 15 dateless nerds on the internet with comics blogs care about continuity anymore...
