Here be spoilers, yarrr

This week a new issue of Avengers vs. X-Men came out (which has been a pretty decent mini-series) and there as a major character who bit the big one.

OF COURSE I wanted to read it for myself and not be spoiled by anyone so I was vigilant in not reading about it on the Internet.  Luckily, most of the sites I read were nice enough to have headlines like:

SPOILER AHEAD!

Major Marvel character killed!

Etc., etc.

I enjoyed that!  It allowed me to go about my day and not read that article.

However, the bastards at jam.canoe.ca did no such thing and basically wrote the headline:

Marvel Comics kills off <insert character name here>

Ah dang it!  There it goes.  Story, totally spoiled for me.  This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer reveals a major plot point about Empire Strikes Back.

What’s worse is that I use the app Flipboard to read my internet news so it basically has the headline in a nice big bold font which I can’t avoid.

I wrote them a letter indicating they should think a little more before posting an article with a headline like that.  I am pissed!
