I just want to get that off my chest. Yes, it is I that is killing comic books! On my weekends off I hunt them down at the local LCS and hang the covers of my kills on the bedroom wall. The manager of my LCS keeps asking me not to bring in my elephant gun but bah to him I say!
Instead of spending my money on buying comics for orphans I spend them on airplane tickets. I travel the country so I can knock on the doors of comic book creators in the middle of the night and run away giggling like a little school girl. That's why so many comic books are late, I don't let the comic creators get a good night sleep!! How else can you explain Avengers Disassembled without including sleep deprevation?
And none of you can stop me! Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
So, what are you doing to kill comics?

I gave some to my one and a half year old neice and she killed 'em pretty good.
Don't worry, it was only some worthless Gus Beezer ones.

Ah, so at last we know who this Codename: Six-one-six is...
My deepest, darkest comic sin is that I leave my recently purchased comics in huge pile next to my toilet where they are bombarded by dust and humidity. Every couple of months I transfer the pile to the long white boxes and often I find my books wrinkled and creased and riddled with water stains.

If it wasn't for the Dr Light Sue Dibny scene, which has no place in mainsteam comics, I would be with you too. Still I must admit I'm looking forward to his JLA run as well.

I acutually don't think the very rare usage of terms like 616 is any kind of big deal. And I certainly don't understand why it has created this huge debate here.

I am killing comics by saying I like Rob Leifield’s art, and by unnecessarily making a mention of Chuck Austen, whom doesn’t bear mentioning at this very moment but I do because it’s 5:00am here where I live and it’s the only possible answer I can come up with, even though this whole answer kills comics in its own way...

Last Thursday instead of going to my local shop for a couple of hours and advising my fellow customers about my superior taste in comics, I stayed home and cooked lots of macaroni and chicken. I am killing comics plus chickens!

I killed comics by shooting YoGo in the head and then not making sure that he was dead!
Also, YoGo is killing comics by failing to mention that he got shot in that last post.

Well I am killing comics by not caring what JMS did to Gwen Stacy. And by being irritated by Chris Claremont's never-ending plots. And by liking stuff put out by big name Hollywood types like JMS's Supreme Power, Whedon's Astonishing X-men, and Hineburg's Young Avengers.
Also I am killing comics by thinking that Milligan's X-men is sarcastic and rife with satire and thus one should have a sense of humor when reading it. God forbid comic book readers should have a sense of humor.

I always wanted to read that because the concept sounded interesting. The back issues are too expensive for me to take a chance, though.
If you liked it, maybe you should check out Pantheon (13 issues from Lone Star Press). Also hard to find but I found it to be a lot of fun.

Instead of spending my money on buying comics for orphans I spend them on airplane tickets. I travel the country so I can knock on the doors of comic book creators in the middle of the night and run away giggling like a little school girl. That's why so many comic books are late, I don't let the comic creators get a good night sleep!! How else can you explain Avengers Disassembled without including sleep deprevation?

I'm killing comics by only buying titles I actually like, not ones that I used to like and vainly hope will get good again someday. I'm convinced that if everyone did this, DC and Marvel would go out of business overnight.

I didn't know who that was. Then I googled him. I found out on Wikipedia thathe was a UK rocker he took off for Vietnam after being convicted of child porn.
Then I also found this image:

I gave food and drugs to Chris Farley. I gave Phil Hartman's wife a subliminal message. I gave Richard Prior progeria (he was only 23).
Oh, you mean what am I doing to kill comic books !!!
Hmmm, well, I make tree forts out of mine....so far I haven't got up enough courage to climb in to one.
