But if that's what you mean, then say THAT; don't say what this guy said.M.

The whole point of killing off one of the FF is to get people to buy the books. I think getting rid of Johnny with a wink and a nod that he'll be back means that more people will start following the series to see how and when he'll come back.AP2HYCapehttp://www.aplacetohangyourcape.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-83105724582343813832011-01-26T14:13:56.169-05:002011-01-26T14:13:56.169-05:00Wait.

Not that I really know, but I would think that the majority of their key demographic lives vicariously through Johnny (good looking guy, superhero, gets a lot of women).
