Tekkaman-James: Spider-Gwen is getting her own book
Oh, jeez, i'm SO glad i stopped reading Quesada crapping all over Marvel.
Tekkaman-James: If Cap was dead longer than a year, it couldn't have been by much.
2 Years. I guess Thor stayed dead longer than that after the King of Asgard/Rune God Thor thing? I don't know.
Tekkaman-James: As for Jean, I give them credit for writing her out of the comics for as long as they have, but she's not dead....She'll be back officially soon enough.
Yup, that's sure. But they played it pretty smart, every character in the Marvel Universe pretty much aknowledged that she'll be back sooner or later and yet she didn't show up for years. Her return will probably be used for a big crossover event.
Tekkaman-James: Tentpole characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man and Captain America will never be gone for long. Even now, with Falcon taking over as Cap, Steve Rogers will find a way to re-awaken the Super Soldier Serum in his body and be back to leading some form of the Avengers sooner or later. For better or worse, the status quo is never shaken up for long in the world of comics.
Well, that's pretty much a given, but even some main characters stayed dead for long. How long it took for Hal Jordan and Barry Allen to be resurrected? And what about Mar-Vell?
