I'd have to agree.... if you kill off superman now... everyone will just be waiting for him to come back to life..

Monetarily, Spider-Man. He's a bigger percentage of Marvel's profits than either Bats or Supes is for DC, simply because both of those guys do so well (Wolverine is Marvel's #2 cash-guy, but he's further behind SM than Supes is behind Bats...and yes, Bats has a bigger market than Supes right now, though not by much).

I wuold have agreed with that actually, but im not so sure seeing how spiderman was recnetly "killed"

Literally, if it happened NOW
well

i duno

actually

Your right

on that list its either spiderman or captain america

strangely enough

thats not entirely far-fetched to speculate seeing how things are going in civil war right now (minus being permanantly dead, though)

Meh, he was dead for half an issue in The Other. No one actually thought he was gone. That doesn't really count.

But yeah, Spidey would be the biggest blow to the checkbooks of Marvel. Cap would be an emotional loss, but really just a hiccup for Marvel as far as profits.

...

And hey, DC did just kill off Superman. Earth-2 Supes (Pre-crisis) just died in Infinite Crisis. That's decades worth of showings, and he was obviously the original.

For marvel its spiderman, for DC its superman... why???

spiderman is in civil war, avengers spectacular spiderman, friendly neighborhood spiderman, ... etc etc.. like 6 or 7 comics...

superman is in action comics, jla, all star, superman,... hes like in 5-7 comics also...

if you permanently removed either character.. you're dropping 5-7 books that sell well regularly... thats like mcdonalds dropping the big mac.

wtf are you nuts!

At one point a few years ago Batman actually had more comic appearences than Supes that year. It may have changed, but they're both very close. No one's close to Spidey's exposure in Marvel (even Logan's a distant #2) but Bats and Supes are roughly equal.

Thats deifnately true, funny cuz i was just reading comics today at walden and i didnt even realize how many spiderman comics there were. So actually yeah, in addition to sadness, thier would be a rather large dent in marvels pocket

and superman died in infinite chrisis? pc rather

i didnt even know infinite chrisis was still going
is it good?

It's been over for a while. But the old Superman (the one that went to "heaven" with Alexander Luthor in the original crisis) died for good this time.

OOOo okay
yeah i saw it at the bookstore today too
intimidateing read
extremely long book

Well Spiderman is considered the most popular comic character. I'm sure the name "Superman" is more known (since it's like a word in the dictionary, how can you *not* know who he is*), he represents the old age of comics and they aren't going in that direction anymore.

i think over all it would be out of spider-man and superman

how do u think the dc universe and the marvel universe would respond?
