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!
