R.I.P=Resurrected into Present!

Do you remember when R.I.P meant "Rest In Peace"? Well, hello!Welcome to the 21st century! No longer does DEAD,KILLED or Blasted into little bitty particles means a Hero won't be back beating the bad guys again in a new comic book store near you. Now granted, I love that Ol' Capt Rogers is back (OCR for you text freaks) and he is so anxious not to Wield the Shield. In fact he came back into the Siege of Asgard, even before he came back in his own series Capt America Reborn #6 and in sense the present world. Here's a thought Steve, if you're watching TV in your uniform I think you want to be Captain America still (Siege 1 last page) just a hunch on that one though.

Of course Bruce Wayne will be sneaking back in a comic book store near you as well. Now if your new in collecting, keep in mind if Batman (B.W., "for you text folks again") really died in Final Crisis #6 I'm sure that it would be worth more then cover just a hint for you. Wow the first series he comes back in is titled The Return of Bruce Wayne HOLY COW. Must have took them months to get that title! Now the list goes on and on of those who have died and and come back and in some cases died again. Heck Marvels Ares dies in two mini series (sales wise) and also is killed in Siege #2. Hm. "Ares the Mighty War God Resurrection" coming in a comic book store in the near future; I'm guessing right near you?

Now theres Blackest Night......................no I'll just skip that one.

So it comes down to this THE GREATEST COMIC I EVER READ WAS "Death of Captain Marvel" 1982 Marvel Graphic Novels. Captain Marvel makes his final journey while on his death bed. He travels his path fighting those he has fought many time before and struggles he has had in his life as well. He struggles at the end to find his nemesis Thanos who at this time is encased in stone (killed by the Avengers) but travels with him along the path of death. However at the end its a simple kiss by lady Death (not the Chaos character, but I knew Death was a lady anyways) and him and Thanos walk off into eternity. Oh by the way Captain Marvel dies on his death bed surrounded by all his friends from, hey heres a new concept, CANCER!

So just maybe one day this decade R.I.P.will mean REST IN PEACE but I simply doubt it. Oh, by the way, Thanos was resurrected in 1990 in Silver Surfer (vol 3) #34 and has a new book in May 2010 of course in a comic book store near you!
