Do you approve of Karen Page's death in MK DD#5?

Ok, I voted no. By no, I do not mean I don't think KP was an untouchable character. In fact, I think I would have embraced her death, had it not been done so shoddily. I have said it before, and I will say it again: Karen's death was in my eyes a poorly thought out stunt for him to leave a mark on the title. Really, it hasn't done much. Bendis has tried to tie it in, but that has presented its own problems.

KP should have gone out like a champion, and she did not.

JR.

I say no. It was handled so, so poorly. It was just a joke.

Karen comes back and has AIDS? What? I don't...oh wait..she doesn't have AIDS...okay...oh but she just died. Okay. What? Well who made her think she had AIDS? Why? Did Mysterio mean to have KP killed? If so what's this AIDS crap? If not why is Kingpin saying "touche"? Is Smith trying to show us that Kingpin doesn't always know what's going on? If Kingpin thinks killing KP is such a good idea why didn't he do it years and years ago? Wait, why did KP die?

Smiths suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. When you can't write, do somthing shocking. Right Kevin?

Agree with Megalo. The reason I put yes is because she became baggage and Marvel probably figured she didn't mean that much in the Marvel Universe. She was becoming too successful too with her radio show and recovery from addiction. What a bitch.

Yeah, I almost expected Bullseye to kill Milla that one issue.

I am fine with her being dead. When I first read it I was just getting into Daredevil and didn't realize how much of past she had with Matt, but when I read it again later it had much more power. I think it was done well enough. I thought the funeral was done quite well actually.
